I've been visiting u2wanderer.org for years to check the discography, and yet I didn't realize until today that this forum even existed!
Anyway, I have a comment and a question about this CD...
First, amazon.co.uk WILL ship to the US, unless maybe you don't have an actual street address. I live in the US and have ordered lots of stuff from them in the past.
An even better option would be
www.cd-wow.net. This site has the European version of the Joshua Tree album (with the "LP" cover) and you can get it for 16.99 with FREE shipping to the US, which is the best deal I've found.
Which leads me to my question...
I recently ordered this album from CD-Wow. It's definitely got the LP cover, plus the inside of the booklet contains several B&W photos that are not in the US CD booklet. Cool! HOWEVER, my booklet was all mixed up... the lyrics were out of order and the photos were put together wrong. My question is... do ALL of the "LP cover" booklets have this problem, or did I just get a CD that had a manufacturing error? I e-mailed Carl about this, who forwarded my e-mail to Aaron, but I haven't heard back yet. Does anyone here have the UK version of the JT, and can you confirm whether your booklet is "in order?"
