idioteque... Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Anyone have any extra or unused Download codes of these reissues? I want to hear how Zooropa sounds remastered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaps and bounds above my original pressing. I kick myself to this day for missing the original US pressing at Joe’s Record Paradise for $9.98, back in the day. I ended up buying the 1991 “Netherlands” pressing for $16.98 later, but Discogs now lists it as an “unofficial” pressing. Huh? Thanks for the review. I will be ordering one....eventually.

timsimmons Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Agreed. I went looking to see what they have been saying about these current reissues this year and people seem to be digging them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds so crisp and full. My original pressing of Joshua Tree doesn't actually sound bad, but you can definitely hear a difference in the reissue. My only complaint is that I think splitting it across two discs kinda fucks with the album's pacing a bit. I prefer the album with a Side A/B tracklisting rather than A/B/C/D. But I mean, quality wise, yeah you cant complain. It comes with a really nice thick ass booklet with interviews and shit in it too. Totally worth it to grab it. And if you can AFFORD it, the ultra-deluxe vinyl set with the Live At Maddison Square Garden 4xLP, get that one, because that concert is truly one of the best mixed live releases I've ever heard. Remarkable stuff. Also, if anyone is wondering, I gave Zooropa a spin, and its solid as hell. Much louder and less muddy as the original pressing.

OneThreeOneTwo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) So I flipped my UK original LP of Zooropa for the new 2LP remaster with 5 dollars to spare which went straight into my belly in the form of pizza . Lack of gatefold aside, it's a great package and the remaster is fantastic. By far my fave U2 album. Pop is relatively cheap at Amazon Canada right now. Can anyone vouch for the reissue? Once I buy it and AB I'm done for now. Edited August 16, 2018 by ａｒｕｍａｊｉｒｏ 零 一つ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember if there is a book in there or not. I think there was but I can confirm when I get home. I just packed up my CDs so I can't compare it to the CD book.

timsimmons Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Pop is the same as the OP. Printed inners (but on heavier stock). It also comes with a lyrics sheet (not included with the OP). The inners have 4 pics from the CD booklet (like the mirrorball guitar). The inside of the gatefold also has some of the pictures from the CD booklet. But no thick booklet at all.

timsimmons Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Both the OPs ATYCLB and HTDAAB had booklets in them. So maybe the represses do as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneThreeOneTwo Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 For Zooropa, all the credits and lyrics are printed on glossy inner sleeves even though both vinyl are already housed in their own standard-stock black inner sleeves. I appreciate that extra bit of packaging, having the option of where to sleeve the wax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 (edited) I noticed and appreciate it too. I wish most artists would consider this if you have a printed inner. Eliminates Inner splits.
