    think it was Wellington Quay. in 2002 I bought a lot of bootlegs here, in 2005 the store was still open but during my last visit in 2009 it was closed.
    I think you are right, last time I was there would have been about 1987.

    But in a year or so when we get seriously planning, I may hit you up for some tips. This will be our 3rd visit, so we're gonna try to find to take the road most less taken this time.
    I'm impressed you've been to Moydrum, that's cool. Some of the Unforgettable Fire promo shots were photographed over in the Burren in County Clare. Worth checking out and yes it's definitely the road-less-travelled. Although the band did shoot that famous pose at the Cliffs of Moher.
  3. Carrigogunnell Castle Co Limerick; Rear cover of the Unforgettable Fire

    From the website:

    "Used to go camping there every summer and there were 4 of us there in August 1984 when U2 showed up. did we have a camera ?? of course not !!
    they hadn't quite cracked into the big time at that stage. even showed the edge how to climb the tricky first stage of the tower."

    Been to the Burren and Cliffs also.

    Need to focus our attention on the southern part next time... Limerick, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, etc... so I'll definitely be keen on knowing where in Co. Limerick they did rear cover photo!

    I'll be in touch to see if I missed any hidden gems in Dublin also. Thanks!
  5. Haha. I read this after previous comment.
  6. Got this today!


  7. Just saw this on ebay:

    U2 - Red Hill Mining Town 2017 Mix - 1 Track Dutch/European Promo CD Joshua Tree

    would this be a real promo, or fake?
  8. Good question! There is an entry on discogs, but that doesn't mean a thing.
    However, these cd-r promos have been issued now and again the last few years...I believe.
  9. Hard to say. Discogs does have it listed in official release, and I do know that when I worked at Warner Bros. getting a promotional advance of an album on CD-R was not out of the ordinary, so it's likely a legit piece.

    If you're in no rush to have it, just keep monitoring and searching. If it's a legit label release, it won't be as rare as it will likely be advertised. Collectible, yes. Limited, most certainly. But not worth the asking price...

    These are fake. They've been doing these since the SOI singles came out. They were initially riddled with spelling mistakes, and I pointed that out on one forum, and suddenly they came out with a new batch that had the correct spelling. They originate with one or two sellers on ebay in the UK. And they always have loads of copies to sell. And they are really poor quality.

    About a year after "Ordinary Love" came out there was suddenly one for that release as well.

    All of these were marked as fake on Discogs at one point. I myself left some comments on a few of them. All of those comments seem to have been removed.
