Your U2 Collectibles

Yeah, from my searches it seems any HTDAAB under $100 is usually the unoffical. I haven't pulled the trigger on purchase yet, but from what I've told it looks as good as original and supposedly sounds just as good also... and if it looks and sounds good, that's all that matters, right?

I have also seen some ATYCLB picture discs that are reasonable, but that might not suit your ultimate vision of your wall...

Silly question perhaps, but if the unofficial looks as good as the official, how can you tell which is which? Different numbers ?

I believe it has different numbers. Here's a link to unofficial on discogs. You can look at photos and if you scroll down, there is a review. The sound source is likely direct from official cd, and the art is easy enough to replicate with all the technology. Even the 16 page booklet that comes with this version looks sharp...

Hmm, I'll have to check mine. I bought my second hand copy two weeks ago. It looked so excellent both vinyl and booklet that I was convinced to have obtained the real deal.
