Amnesty International Box Set
« on: March 22, 2013, 09:43:13 AM »
Hello --

I've just received an email from CD Japan that reveals an Amnesty International Box Set that features U2. Its name is Amnesty International Presents Get Up! Stand Up! - Highlights from The Human Rights Concerts 1986-1998. It is a 2CD/3DVD set.

Here's the listing with an ok price:

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VQBD-10135

I also found more info on this website:

http://www.humanrightsconcerts.com/

However, the tracklist is nowhere to be found. Does anyone have more info on this release?

That second link lists a US / Canada release in May by Shout Factory.  So unless the Japan version has extra tracks on it i'll hold off until I can order it here at home.

The link also focuses on the Human Rights Concerts which were held in '88.  U2 participated in one of those, or Edge and Bono did, on September 21, 1988.  It was a show held in LA.  Bono performed on "Chimes of Freedom" and "Get Up Stand Up" along with other artists.  I've found conflicting information on what Edge might have done, or if he was even there.

From wiki: "Each show began and ended with a group performance of Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up", and before that closer, a Springsteen-led group rendition of Bob Dylan's "Chimes of Freedom". At many venues, guest artists from the area were featured, as opening acts and in joining the main participants at times, especially during the opening and closing ensembles."

And answered my own question with the first link: "Japanese edition includes four bonus tracks each for DVD(s) and CD(s)." so I'll be watching for any U2 content in the bonus tracks, if there's none, I'll wait for the North American release.

I believe they will release only a reduced set in May in North America. The complete version would be available only in October. A bit confusing, so far.

There is a tracklist on the japan site, and the google transaltor use brings this results:

14. [Disc 1] MLK Pride
15. [Disc 1] Bloody Sunday

UPDATE:

 http://www.sainsburysentertainment.co.uk/en/Films-TV/DVD/Get-Up-Stand-Up-Highlights-From-The-Human-Rights-Concerts-1986-1998/product.html?product=E11219840

Get Up! Stand Up!” presents highlights from The Human Rights Concerts – the series of benefit concerts staged between 1986 and 1998 to raise awareness and funds for the Nobel Peace Prize-winning human rights organisation Amnesty International. The first set of performances come from “A Conspiracy Of Hope”, Amnesty’s 25th anniversary US concert tour in 1986. This was followed by “Human Rights Now!”, the historic 5-continent 20-concert world tour undertaken in 1988. The series continued with stand-alone concerts “An Embrace Of Hope” in Chile in 1990 and “The Struggle Continues” in Paris in 1998. The list of musicians who contributed their services is extraordinary and includes some of the world’s foremost artists - drawn from several nations and representing a wide range of musical styles. The primary factor uniting them was their desire to donate their time and talents to place a spotlight on Amnesty’s vital work campaigning for people whose human rights are abused. Building on the achievements of Amnesty’s legendary “Secret Policeman’s Ball” benefit shows, albums and movies - these concerts brought awareness of the cause to an ever-wider public. This new release is designed to continue that mission and raise further funds for Amnesty’s crucial work.

1) Bob Geldof & Steven Van Zandt – Redemption Song 2) Third World – Now That We’ve Found Love 3) Joan Armatrading – Love And Affection 4) Ruben Blades (with Carlos Santana & Fela Kuti) – Muevete 5) Miles Davis – Speak / That’s What Happened 6) Lou Reed – Walk On The Wild Side 7) Peter Gabriel – Shock The Monkey 8) Bryan Adams – Run To You 9) Bryan Adams – Summer Of ’69 10) U2 – MLK / Pride (In The Name Of Love) 11) U2 – Sunday Bloody Sunday 12) The Police – Message In A Bottle 13) The Police – Every Breath You Take

It's listed on amazon.ca as an import:

http://www.amazon.ca/Get-Up-Stand-Various-Artists/dp/B00BPA2IUO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369404454&sr=8-1&keywords=get+up+stand+up

Full covers are there front and back.  It lists the U2 tracks as being from New Jersey in 1986, and contains "MLK/Pride" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday".

Has anyone confirmed what the bonus tracks on the Japan set were?  I ordered my copy from the UK and the copy I got was pressed in Germany...I'm happy enough with that as I was told the bonus tracks weren't u2 related but thought I would check...

As June 15, 1986 performance of MLK/Pride was released on The Unforgettable Fire deluxe remaster, this means that only Sunday Bloody Sunday will be unique to this release, right?

Here's a link listing the contents of the 6-DVD set being released in the fall as stated on the
Human Rights website announcement (which PatrickM posted at the top of this thread).

http://evo88.com/en/music?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=789&category_id=29

(Disc 2) It seems we'll get the whole U2 concert from East Rutherford in '86 plus the Police set which includes Bono singing on Invisible Sun and the finale, I Shall be Released, with everyone on stage.
Note: U2's set and The Police set videos have already been up at WV for a long time plus boots of the original TV broadcast have been circulating since the AI concert was shown. And it's all up (unofficially) on Youtube, of course.

(Disc 6) Includes Bono and Damien Rice singing Walk On from the Electric Burma show in 2012.

At this point it appears the 6-DVD set will be released Oct 28 worldwide and Nov 5 in the US and Canada.

Thanks for the new information.  The content of that Human Rights website has changed.  It originally only referred to a 2-disc DVD, called "Get Up Stand Up!" which can still be ordered through Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/Get-Up-Stand/dp/B00BPA2HVY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1369404641&sr=8-2&keywords=get+up+stand+up

The information on the 6-disc set is brand new as far as I can remember, although it was suggested above that they'd release a shorter set in May and follow up with a longer set in the fall...  Wondering if the accompanying CD to this new version titled "¡RELEASED!" will contain additional U2 songs not included on the previous 2-CD set.  These definitely appear to be new CDs to accompany the new DVD.

Anyone heard about the ELECTRIC BURMA DVD/BLU RAY? Strange silence about this one!
