Hi,
Long-time U2 forum poster, but first time poster here.

I'm in Canada.  I still haven't got the Magnificent CDs from Europe yet.  I'm trying to find a good deal to get both discs (and not the 2-track slipcase).  Did anyone find a good, low-cost online store to order from?

Thanks.

I'm in Canada also and looking to buy online but can't find them anywhere. I can only find the 10 track CD and that's it. Very annoying. And it's too expensive on Ebay still... maybe with time..

for those of you who are still looking for the "regular singles", this fellow in the Netherlands has a few copies left of each:

for me, from Canada, this was cheaper than getting them from Amazon.com in the US... go figure.

Not really.  Getting them from Amazon.com means you're paying double shipping in a way.  Amazon has to import them from Europe, which drives up the cost, then to send them out to Canada you again pay shipping.

For those keeping track: it seems that the Fred Falke Radio Edit (found on the Danish 7-track promo CD) and the Fred Falke Radio Mix (part of the Masterbeat.com download single) are the same.  While the Edit is 4:04 and the Mix is 3:59, after comparing them in Adobe Audition it is clear to me that they are identical, minus the Edit having an additional 1 second of lead-in time and 4 seconds more muted lead-out time. For me, it's always nice to know that the best available version of a track is CD-quality.

Unrelated, but of great historical significance, is my first forum post just three posts above, exactly 100 posts ago.

For me too. Nice to know that there's no another mix to find  ;D Is this the same version, as on Artificial Horizon?

I don't know how I missed that.  It probably is.  I'm away from my music for a couple of weeks, so I can't answer this until then.

But as I know there's still no any CD that containd Magnificent (UK Edit). Is this the only Remix/Edit studio version that is missed on CD?

It was available on some European FLAC stores if you are looking for an uncompressed version (Qobuz being one).

If you are talking about "Magnificent (U.K Edit)"... U.K silver pressed promotional issues and CD single have this version.
