Does anyone know what tracks have or have not been remastered?

U2.com says the 12 album tracks are remastered, and as Aaron points out on the website, it is the 2017 remaster tweaked.

The U2.com page also says, "39 additional bonus tracks, including remastered B-sides ('Summer Rain', 'Always', 'Big Girls Are Best', 'Don't Take Your Guns To Town')."  Do we know if any of the Disc 2 tracks remastered?  Or the previously-released remixes on Disc 5?

Lyrics Transcriptions / Holy Joe
« Last post by MartinTexas on November 08, 2020, 04:32:34 PM »
Hi!
Small thing, but some time ago I noticed that at the very end of Holy Joe (Guilty Mix), both on Japan album bonus track and on Discothèque single, you can hear "Thank you", probably by someone from the studio when recording.  ;)  Small improvement to the "lyrics", but after so many years from release maybe there are more words hiding at the very end of songs.


Another thing I will ask is even smaller  ;D - the notation of verse "No, really I try", and precisely the comma, which is only on Garage Mix, when not present on Guilty Mix - as hear the both mixes it should be rather opposite. Bono do a little pause on Guilty Mix, when on Garage he sing it continuously or at least comma at both.  ::)

Yes. It's about 2/3 finished :)

You will be able to view lists by best quality available...

Streaming Only
Compressed Digital Files
Non-Compressed Analog Sources (Vinyl / Cassette)
CD Quality Audio (Digital or Physical)
High Resolution Digital Audio
Analog Video Source
Digital Video Source.

It'll be tied in at the lyrics pages.  So you'll be able to find a list of what is available as best format.

Also going to give you the ability to sort tracks by solo U2 vs the full band or Passengers. And a couple of other options as well...
That's nice feature, but what would be really cool it's a lyric search - as you have the most complete and corrected U2 lyrics. I mean search by worlds or phrases in whole lyrics section.


Anyway one new thing on the site is really confusing - dividing the A-Z Song section into 3 separate catalogs: Studio, Live & Solo. arlier way was easier to find all appearences of one song across all releases.

Now when I look at "The Sains Are Coming - Live Rehearsal" - I see it on Studio catalog insead of Live. It's strange.

Other is "Tomorrow" when someone is looking for all their U2 releasen could not see very quickly the Common Ground Version as it is in othe section.


The solution could be also 4th section gathering all songs - easy way especially for collectors to see different song versions.

At a Depeche Mode fan forum, I read comments about the live version of The Fly [from that Boston concert].  The comments were "I’m getting the 2 disc set mainly for the Boston version of The Fly which is brilliant" and "That is the one song I plan to download.  The new arrangement was stunning on that tour."  I have no idea what these people are referring to . . . . . . so I am going to have to watch the performance of The Fly on my Boston DVD [Disc 1] and compare it to the existing live audio track in my iTunes library, which is from Seattle April 24, 2005 [and which I acquired from u2start.com].
So I discovered that the first 1:30 of that live version of The Fly has a great chill intro with Edge on electric guitar and Bono singing.  From that point on, however, it seems like a normal live version of The Fly.  I wonder if this chill intro was unique to the June 6, 2001 Boston performance.  Anyways . . . . . . for me, that great chill intro made it worth acquiring.  To acquire the best sounding audio file, here's what I did:

I extracted the audio of The Fly from my Boston DVD using the DVD Audio Extractor program.  I then bought the digital downloads from iomoio.com and the iTunes Store.  It's weird, on the iTunes Store, for that live version of The Fly . . . . . . on the $16.99 ATYCLB re-release, the track time is 7:22 and on the $24.99 ATYCLB re-release, the track time is 7:56

I compared all 4 audio files and decided to keep the one from the iTunes $24.99 ATYCLB album.  Since the last 1:22 of the audio file is just crowd noise with the PA system repeating "Gotta go" . . . . . . I edited the audio file so that it's total track time is now 6:33

1.  On that Twitter thing, it says @CanSagLeo
      What does that refer to?
2.  On that photo, the CD is titled:  U2 ELEVATION LIVE   FROM BOSTON   ALBUM TWO
      Why does it say ALBUM TWO?
      Does that mean it is Disc 2 of the 2-Disc Live In Boston audio CD Set that is in the ATYCLB re-release?

1. That’s my Twitter handle.
2. Yes.

That’s hysterical! I literally posted this on Twitter four days ago: https://twitter.com/cansagleo/status/1322658608354570244?s=21

I love the All That You Can't Leave Behind album, I love the b-sides, rarities and remixes . . . . . . but there is not enough new content for me to buy the re-release in any format.  Remastered albums mean nothing to me [my ears just can't tell the difference].  I just don't need to have physical CDs with the b-sides, rarities/outtakes, remixes and the live Boston audio tracks [I have all that in digital form].  I actually have a large laminated ATYCLB concert poster that someone gave me and it's hanging on my bedroom wall.  I am interested in the booklet and hardcover book and I'd be willing to pay $20 for them . . . . . but not $140.

I have read all the recent news articles on u2songs.com . . . . . . but I'm still not sure if these 4 unreleased remixes will be available to buy as individual digital downloads from the iTunes Store, Amazon or iomoio.com
Walk On [Wyclef Jean Remix]
When I Look At The World [Picante Remix]
New York [Carnegie’s Deli Remix]
New York [Superman Kicks Ativan Remix]

I haven't heard the new set yet as I'm waiting for the price to drop on the 5CD. Almost every big box set this year saw a significant price decrease on amazon and elsewhere after release day. Not this one. The amazon US price is holding steady at $139. Bleh.

So now that the set is out... is there any confirmation whether the album is indeed the same remaster as the 2018 WAV files from the vinyl-re-release?
