I'm gasping for air...
If you're a serious collector, don't click on this link unless you went short on the market before it crashed...

Yeah, I had seen that earlier today. I will have to see details of what's included in which package, but for now I'll probably just get the CD/DVD set.
Of course, I said the same thing when The Bomb came out and I ended up buying at least three different versions. ;D
-
Or a normal fan can just pick up the CD for 9.95 and be happy.
I'm sure the double vinyl is like the JT remastered vinyl-- one album, 1/2 speed pressing with 2-3 songs per side on 2 discs, probably 180 gram. The price of 18 bucks is quite reasonable. Plus you get the full size pictures and text you can actually read. Hopefully the lyrics. I'll get this for sure.

How "official" is this? Where has it come from? U2.com haven't announced anything in the news section yet so is this coming from the band and the people behind them?
I like waiting for U2.com to explain what is in each edition also so I know which version(s) to pick so that I have everything that appears in the other editions. And so far Amazon itself barely knows what's in each one...
Or is Amazon making it's own "magazines" and "posters" that are independent of what U2 will include, such as the vinyls and CDs and DVDs which will obviously be official?
Urgh... too many questions and no answers until U2 post the info themselves.
But clicking that link was almost better than sex...
-
Almost? :D
-
LOL!
Girlfriend was around and I'm not particularly lookin' to break up so she needs to be under the impression that it is "almost"...

Reports of U2 announcing the different versions of the new album. Still waiting for it on U2.com...

In a paroxysm of lunacy I've preordered a bunch of things. I'll have to downgrade my Titleist to an el Cheapo ???
Brad, I'll need that small loan we discussed earlier... :D

::: I'm serious Collector!! but Unemplyees can't afford sucha things!!
What are they thinking??? ::)
-
Well, I've pre-ordered the deluxe version on iTunes and the box set. I'll probably order the single CD version from the UK as well since I like to have all of the albums lined up on the shelf in jewel cases.
I knew this was going to happen. ;D
-
Okay now that we know (well most knew but I was waiting for confirmation from U2.com) the different formats that the album will be released in, does anyone know yet if the box format has everything that the other formats have? I know it's hard without them being released yet...
I mean I can see that the box format seems to have all of the things in the others, apart from the books in each one. There's the 64 page hardback book, the 64 page magazine, the 32 page booklet and the 16 page booklet all in different formats. Assuming the box format's hardback book has everything that's in the magazine and two booklets, then the box format would be the definitive collection of this album, wouldn't it? Hey? Hey? ;D
-
Umm does anyone know about a bonus track on the new album?
I'm in Aus and an online store has a version of the album that has a bonus track. Track 12 is an alternate version of No Line On The Horizon. Is this anywhere else?

-
Dammed Aussies...you got great beaches, great looking women...why do you get the bonus track??
???
I expected it to be in the deluxe edition here like they did with the bomb...but don't really know. UK seems to have either 10 or 11 tracks with "Breathe" being a bonus. But Amazon US has no track listings yet. All I really know is what's on U2.com.
-
Hmm. iTunes US has two extra tracks, one iTunes exclusive and one preorder bonus. I assume one of those two would be the edit/version then.
-
I believe the 2 bonus tracks will be :
Every Breaking Wave and Tripoli and may be included as well on the box
here is a link to amazon with a price drop and new image of the album cover

Do you have any solid info on this?
-
unconfirmed , if not then it will be the tracks from the GOYB single :
No Line On The Horizon (Alternate)
Get On Your Boots (Will.i.am Remix)
-
Now that we all have at least one version of the new album... can anyone confirm for me if there is anything in one version that you don't get in the boxset?
For eg, is the magazine in the Magazine Edition any different to the hardcover book in the Boxset? And any idea about bonus tracks in some of the other versions? Or is there anything else?
I already know I have to get the Standard Edition here in Australia because it has a bonus track (NLOTH Alternate) but is there anything else? ie. posters, booklets, PAGES in booklets, tracks...
Thanks for any info on this.

I haven't heard of anything additional except for the "FEZ" video on the UK iTunes version. It's apparently a short making-of video, though I haven't seen it myself.
The US iTunes version has yet to drop and apparently contains two top-secret bonus tracks, though I doubt they will end up being anything we haven't already heard.
I'm getting the Australian basic CD, the DVD boxset, and the US iTunes deluxe set. I think that should cover just about everything.
-
The iTunes pre-order of the album (non deluxe) came with two bonus tracks - NLOTH2 is the iTunes bonus track, and Get On YOur Boots (Crookers Remix) is the bonus track if you pre-ordered the album. You also get a digital booklet. Nothing special there...
I'll pick up my physical copy tomorrow (single cd) and I have a deluxe box set on it's way from the UK that I picked up when amazon had it on sale for approximately $29...
-
Yep, I was already intending to buy the big box (and, oh, is it mighty gorgeous) but I also threw the dice on the iTunes exclusives, since I'm a "gotta have it all" kind of fan. Already had "NLOTH 2" from importing the CD single so it looks like I just spent $9.99 for "Get On Your Boots (Crookers Remix)". Not particularly pleased about it, but I knew the deal going in...
-
Hmm this is pretty much what I expected (and hoped for).
It seems I should buy the Standard Edition here in Aus for that bonus track of NLOTH2 and so I can line it up next to all of their older albums (isn't that just a delight to see!)
As for the GOYB bonus track, we don't have that available in our iTunes store but I prefer to get their physical releases as part of my collection (here's to hoping it gets released on an upcoming single).
Ditto with the FEZ making-of video (that, to me, sounds like something that would go on a DVD, ie. maybe on a DVD single for this new album or an upcoming live DVD, as they've put making-of videos on those releases in the past)
I LOVE the big box too. The only downside (in my opinion) is the white will stain if I handle it too much. And it's the kind that won't take too well to being wiped with a damp anything. So I think I will keep that one in a protective display case while I use the the Standard Edition CD for usage.
I've even considered making copies of every single U2 CD I have so that I can use them and keep the originals for display and admiration only (I've already done it with some of the rarest singles) Is that weird? Urgh...
The only thing left seems to be the books/booklets/posters which I think are exactly the same as anything I have in the boxset but that will eventually become known in time.
Thanks for this, guys.

Preordered the iTunes NLOTH mainly so I could get my own official low bit Croakers mix... :D
Well actually I wanted that booklet at the stroke of midnight. It took an hour to download the box set.
The hand written lyrics are sweet. It's a classy pdf. Somebody does Adobe professional quite well.
Already had Winter lossless dvd rip and I agree the iTunes version is inferior.
Got 2 copies of the Starbucks NLOTH with the Red sticker. It cost more but now I feel better. Almost.
Preordered some copies of the vinyl. 1 has arrived, the others are still backordered from Amazon. In fact, I already got an obscure book of Hölderlin poetry which was backordered at the same time. Vinyl demand seems to be increasing. Wake up, Amazon fools. Get more stock. There's some profit there.
U2 has consistently released excellent 180g 1/2 speed pressed vinyl over the last couple years--U2-18, all the remasters.This is no exception. The records are virtually noiseless. The full sized album art and booklet are 1st rate. Well worth the price of 18.99. Good stuff. Oh yeah, I like the sound better.

My local Best Buy had about 10 copies on vinyl on release day. I went back two days later and they were all gone. The box sets, on the other hand, didn't look like they had sold at all, unless they were restocking them.
Both Best Buy and Fred Meyer are starting to stock vinyl with some regularity here.
-
Fred Meyer?? Aha...now I understand the 4am posts. ;D
-
Only my recent 4 AM posts. I moved out here from Virginia in July. ;D
I think this last move is permanent.
