Achtung Baby [All Discussions]

Originally posted by EyesWithPrideB3:The Pink Floyd ones are going for $180 where I'm at. Still way cheaper than U2, I know.

And Alex I just mean that its nothing new. When I've bought box sets in the past, its been because theres unreleased material on there- new stuff that we haven't heard before, a fresh look on an era. There's just nothing that grabs me about this and its extremely disappointing because there's so much to be had.

Originally posted by drewhiggins:I saw them the other day, going for $199 I think each. Even though I love Pink Floyd, and I'd love to get Meddle with the bits and pieces that I don't have - as well as certain sessions of the 'Household Objects' project, that's just too much.


Myself, I'd have done it like this:

CD1: The original album
CD2: The B-sides, everything from the singles
CD3: Demos, early versions and alternate mixes (1989 - 1990)
CD4: Demos and alternates (1991 takes)
CD5: Remixes including those not released on common releases from Melon
CD6: Achtung Baby DTS remaster - 5.1, and commentary sections, and the radio spots
CD7: 'Achtung Baby 25 Years On' - all the songs played live since ZooTV, select best performances and Acrobat soundcheck from Hershey

DVD1: The videos and promo pieces
DVD2: The behind-the-scenes sessions
DVD3: The 'From The Sky Down' documentary
DVD4: An unreleased concert DVD with photo gallery, DTS audio


I'd not have bothered with Zooropa, rather saving that for a remaster itself with a second disc of demos. $100 - $120 for the above listing.

I was hoping for something more along the lines of this.

I'm seriously considering just replacing my 20-year old AB copy and buying the standard, single CD edition. TO be honest, I very rarely listen to the bonus discs, if ever, from the other remastered albums. It'll depend on in-store price adn availabity, I suppose.

Originally posted by Scott_McDJust noticed that the price for the Uber Box Set on amazon.ca has shot up dramatically!

Disappointing...

I agree.The band,missed the boat on this one.No live cd from 1992 (which of course,was the AB tour).I believe some have said this isnt even remastered,then why buy it ?

Adding Zooropa made zero sense.Obviously,the band feels this release is not worth standing on its own.Its a toss in.Strange.

Originally posted by Mr_Trek:Damn, I sure hope this won't be any more expensive than JT and UF super deluxe. I can't afford something like the Rose Bowl mega deluxe shit.
