Hopefully we’ll get lots of fun stuff with the general public release later this year, unreleased + a LT show would be great![]()
Yeah, the plus-side to this announcement is basically that it confirms there will be an R&H boxed set soon. Probably in October or November to take advantage of the Xmas shopping. No album in the band's catalog has as much potential for audio/video discs as there's so much cutting room floor stuff remaining from film outtakes, entire filmed concerts, etc.
That will then mean that the earliest material through the Zooropa album has been remastered and reissued masterfully. (Although the Achtung Baby/Zooropa album re-masters were sound tweaks rather than traditional re-masters since they were recorded digitally).
Then we'll be left with a potential Zooropa boxed set (those b-sides/remixes still need a home) and the rest of the catalog. There isn't much potential sound-wise for anything new given how the later albums were all recorded, but there's still Disc Two of the Passengers project, potential re-mixing of Pop tracks, and the hope of all hopes that All That You Can't Leave Behind and the following LPs will be released with lower volumes as they suffered immensely from the Loudness Wars.
For what it's worth, in addition to Rattle & Hum, The Edge oversaw remasters last year of Pop and All That You Can't Leave Behind as mentioned via this link:

And said remasters are where the new vinyls are surely being sourced. So, Passengers aside, all the U2 albums through 2000 have now been remastered. The later ones really just need to have remasters where the volume is turned down so all that clipping doesn't happen.
