yes, but I do not see anything about either albums being remastered. This is what it says:
"6 CDs including the original Achtung Baby album, the follow-up album, Zooropa, B-sides and re-workings of previously unheard material recorded during the Achtung Baby sessions."
Only way I am getting this is as a present or wait a year or two when it will be in the discount bin.
I have most of the dvd's and music that they listed. All I would be interested in seeing are the book and the new movie.
I'm sure it's remastered but they probably left that out. I will be disappointed if they weren't remastered.
But I agree with you, the only way I'll get this is as a gift. I just wish there was a link for the US Amazon also.
I was really excited about this release... seeing that price for the uber big box, maybe the 6cd 4dvd without everything else will have to suffice, and even then it's got to come down in price.

Yeah, I know what you mean. As much as I want the Uber set, I might settle on the Super Deluxe set and the vinyl set. I would think the 6 CDs and 4 DVDs are the exact same one's that are in the Uber set.

Looks like it, so you're essentially paying for the Fly shades, the clear vinyl singles and a couple of other bits of (admittedly very nice) tat. For the cost difference you could easily get the vinyl singles, probably the released vinyl set and a pair of Fly shades. Like U2 aren't going to sell all the merchandise they can on the website! There's a lot of comment on the atu2 forums about it might not have been remastered as it doesn't mention it anywhere.

Reading the info about the DVDs, kind of bummed one of them is the Sydney one, which is commercially available. I was hoping they'd release an arena show from the tour.

Yep. Looks like I'll be dishing out for the super deluxe edition and the vinyl edition, even though I'd love to have the 7" inch vinyl. I just wish the concert was different.

It might sound crazy, but once I saw that the Bono Fly sunglasses were included I was sold. I have wanted a pair of those since I first saw them. That is such a cool thing to add to a boxset!
Damn you, I'm almost tempted at that price. Even though I know it's still way too much! To be fair, you get more for your money than if you laid that amount out for a Benny Hall so is it really that bad?

Actually the fact that they are (re)releasing the Sydney show and those music videos kinda pisses me off. If they're in blu-ray, it'll be cool though.
Yeah, I was really happy about this announcement and then I read it was the Sydney show, I got kind of bummed. I was hoping for an arena show. I thought they would've done something like the Joshua Tree remaster and reissue. The book looks interesting to me. I agree with you about the show and videos, if it's in blu-ray, I would like it.

The interesting bit is that the book appears to be larger for the Super Deluxe than the Uber Deluxe, 92 pages as opposed to 84, I'm guessing it's a typo but you never know. Hopefully Amazon etc. will decide to beat Universal at the pricing thing.

I hope so. If I had a lot of money, I'd buy the Uber set because of 7" singles. But it looks like I'll only be getting the Super Deluxe set. I hope it's not a typo for the book.

One of my friends was manager at a record store and he took home these cubes that were the shop display when the album came out, with different pictures from the cover on each of the sides. He had about 16 of them and they were mounted on his wall. It looked so cool, like a 3d album cover.
He had loads of cool shit like that but he died unexpectedly and his uncle who inherited the estate just threw everything away! :shock:

I can't drop that kind of money on any album, but I do want the doc and the re-mastered vinyl.
That vinyl box is ridiculous expensive.... 170 bucks for 4 slabs of vinyl????? Nirvana is only 60...was 50... and Okonokos by MMJ can be picked up for 40-45????
Yeah, the Amazon.com prices are completely off the map. Here's a nice site comparing the prices of the various versions of the Achtung Baby boxset: http://www.atu2.com/achtungbaby.html
I see that the price on Amazon.ca is now also almost CDN$ 170 (it used to be CDN$ 100). Converted to $ the price on Universal Music UK is about $90. That's still a lot, but already about half of what Amazon.com is charging.

I've been looking at that site, too. The Super Deluxe is somewhat a reasonable price but the vinyl box set is WAY too much. I'll have to check the other sites and Google the conversion of the international websites.

allthough I really do dig some songs off the really underrated Zooropa and Pop albums.
Stay and Somedays are better then others from Zooropa are my favorite U2 songs (and staring at the sun from Pop).
Pop gets such a bad rap. They name one song discoteque and everyone thought it was a disco record.. lol
Pop is genius! Like you, I don't know why it gets a bad rap. Great stuff on that album.
"Please" is their most underrated song of all times.
For me, either that or "Stay" are their most underrated of all-time. They're both in my top 10 U2 songs.

evryone in this thread should go punch themselves in the balls just remind them that they are still there. Fuck U2 and the antichrist known as Bono
:roll:
I don't give a shit about the personal lives or doings of Bono, et al, but Achtung Baby! cannot be denied.
I didn't know not stumbling out of clubs drunk, not cheating on your wife, and spending your time and money for a good cause makes you the anti-Christ.
I agree, Achtung Baby! is a masterpiece and one of the greatest albums ever and an album that shouldn't be denied of its greatness.
