timsimmons Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Weird that they are skipping Zooropa, Pop and ATYCLB. Those need represses too. Especially Zooropa. The bootleg market for that is crazy, and they sound like crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timsimmons Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I can only assume they want to do a deluxe for ATYCLB because that was a big album and maybe do that long wanted Pop remix for its 20th. But they have Zooropa the shaft by sticking the CD in the deluxe Achtung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to complete my U2 collection on vinyl without forking out for originals. They are due for a big reissue campaign. A few years ago I bit and paid up for a OP of Zooropa, and ATYCLB. They were the last two I needed to complete the collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lethalenforcer Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Atomic Bomb is one of my favorite albums - not the biggest U2 fan ever but it resonated with me. Regrettably splurged ($150) on an OG in late 2015 but I'm glad to see that more people will finally be able to get it. Any word on Songs Of Experience? Bonobos, Thedge and Co. need to deliver that asap Vince Ives, AlexH. and tape 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 They are apparently at Electric Ladyland with Lillywhite fixing up the record. Wouldnt be surprised if it's out this Fall. lethalenforcer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodan Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 would be cool if they reissued everything within the next one, two, three or fourteen months. achillesstand7 and Monastic_mike 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbourne25 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) I have all of their original pressings of every album (big fan don't judge) so probably no need for me to grab this. But I agree it doesn't make sense about skipping Achtung Baby, Zooropa, Pop & ATYCLB. Especially the latter. Also up on amazon for those interested > https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0006399G2/ref=tmm_vnl_new_olp_0?ie=UTF8&condition=new&qid=&sr= Edit: Just waiting for these to flood ebay and Discogs as news spreads Edited March 2, 2017 by colbourne25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vega Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Woah...I would have never thought that they'd do this one day...they never seemed to be the "vinyl-reissue-band". I still have my original copy sealed, and will probably keep it that way and buy this one to finally listen to this on wax since it's still my third favorite u2 album!

I have a hard time finding many flaws in it. It's a shame the (unjust) taste it left in peoples' mouths after the distribution method. Whatever.

DASiano Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I ponied up via Amazon because this is good rock n roll, uhhhhh, music. I've basically resigned myself to give up the ghost on hunting down OG copes of the 90s-00s records (I've got OGs of the 80s stuff and Innocence). Even if I did find legit copies, it's common knowledge just how much they go for, and that surpasses my personal max splurge budget of $75 on a single rare record. A local record store actually had an OG Achtuuung. BABY! around that price last year and I slept on and subsequently lost out on it. I'm hoping this reissue is simply a replica of the OG-not a remaster expanded onto 2LPs (that way I can feel like I have an OG hahaha). I mean, I'll take whatever it is I suppose, but that's how I'd prefer it. I'd also love to get me hand on Pop. Not a remix, I think the original audio is totally fine (and that this is a brutally underrated record). Now from what I've last heard on Songs Of Experience, they are supposedly re-evaluating the lyrical content to see if the message they want to get across is now relevant in a post-Trump/Brexit world. That, and they might take the time to add new songs to it. Allegedly happening this year, though. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/the-edge-breaks-down-u2s-upcoming-joshua-tree-tour-w459473 17 hours ago, lethalenforcer said: Bonobos, Thedge and Co.

Sad Heart Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I'm not a U2 fan ... at all, but I'm always stoked when OOP records get pressed so people can add them to their collection. Always such a good feeling when that happens; patience paying off. I'm not a U2 fan ... at all, but I'm always stoked when OOP records get pressed so people can add them to their collection.

If what you're implying is true, then awesome. They should just do this for the remaining 90s and 00s albums-no deluxe editions, no remastering, just get them back in circulation as they were. 12 hours ago, Vince Ives said: Not enough Adam Scott Aukerman refs being dropped in this thread.
