allow me to be the second on this side... i don't really get the whole drooling over remastering thing (much in the same way that i don't get what the hell the big deal is between getting a FLAC of some schmuck with a tape recorder's bootleg vs. an mp3 of the same schmucko's recording... maybe my ears just suck).
seems to me that the songs were pretty mind blowing when heard on a scratchy record... i don't find it any more mind blowing on CD then i did back then
pepokiss said:they should do a promo that, if you bring the original CD when you buy the remastered one, you should get at least some disccount...
Zootlesque said:They need to remaster War first! That CD sounds like crap.

ok but does it not bother you a little when you play an older U2 CD after a CD made within the last 7 years and you have to turn up the volume?

I'm pretty sure you have turn up the volume even on itunes if something like Vertigo is followed by Sunday Bloody Sunday.
Zootlesque said:
Hahaha what will they do with the old CDs?

Headache in a Suitcase said:'cause turning the friggin volume up or down a touch when the songs change is soooo hard to do.

Headache in a Suitcase said:is that really all the remastering does though? make it so you don't have to turn the volume up?

It's not about volume anyway, it's about clarity.

very very true! i remember visiting the music section at this forum and finding everyone wanting lossless bootlegs and wondering how the hell it would make a blind bit of difference if it was just some shitty audience recording?
Anyway about the remastering I'm one of the [i'm assuming] many U2 fans who have all the B-sides but have not bought most of the original singles - the only copies of the majority of U2's b-sides from the 80's i have are MP3s of up to 192kbps sound quality and over the years i've burned them to CDs and lost the MP3s so had to rip them from CDs again and i have a couple that just sound like total SHIT and I don't get round to downloading them again.
This rather garbled tale is the reason i'm really excited about the idea of getting all those tracks properly remastered on CD so I can listen to them through my headphones with perfect sound!
