    And since the background music to Bono's recital is NYD, I have my doubts about the 1979 dating too...
    The Midnight Mass recording was made in 1984 or 1985, I believe
  2. I believe you are correct. I bought this in NYC in '86, so it had to be sometime between '83 and '85...
  3. December 11, 1984 - There you have it.

    "Bill Cochran, today a successful audio producer and voiceover artist whom you've probably heard on radio or TV. At the time, he was working for Chicago's WXRT-FM and came up with an idea to produce a radio special featuring holiday messages from the artists that WXRT played. WXRT Program Director Norm Winer gave the green light to Cochran's idea, and a program called The Holiday Extravaganza was born. It premiered on WXRT in 1983 and continued annually for many years.

    A year later, Winer -- who counted former Principle Management Director Ellen Darst as a friend -- arranged a recording session with Bono. But it fell on Cochran's shoulders, as the producer, to come up with something for Bono to say. Cochran headed to U2's hotel to record Bono before the band's gig later that night at the Aragon Ballroom. It was Dec. 11, 1984."

    hahahaha that's a ridiculous price, what a bargain. And to think that many so called "fans" subscribed more than once to U2.com in order to "get profit" out of the vinyl...
  7. Curious to see the future price from this year suscribtion posters on eBay
  8. Started collecting the albums on vinyl, Pop is coming in next week and then it's saving money for the rest!

    Nice collection Remy. I'm 3 albums short of completing the vinyl collection myself. Pop, ATYCLB and NLOTH. Where did you get the frames?

    Just do a search for album art frames and you'll find them.

    Nice. Started bying vinyl again and men, the prices. All the older albums are no problem and I've got my favorite Achtung Baby for a reasonble price and was able to buy No Line on the Horizon without the cover for only 17€. Which is fine for me because I want to listen to them and not look at them (although your wall looks mighty fine). But the prices for HTDAAB and ATYCLB are enormous. Time for some re-issues.
