  1. Nah, it's Prince. I'm not sure why there's some of Pop missing though.
  2. Me neither. There's a lot of U2 that's hard to get in the US. LNOE single and Mofo remixes + a ton of other stuff isn't available for digital purchase anywhere.
  3. Hmm...strange. Pop singles are ridiculously easy to get hold of here, they are always present on Amazon Marketplace for next to nothing. That said, I do still need one of the LNOE singles but each time I see one for sale I forget which one it is that I have.

    It's a struggle in the US to get obscure U2. A couple years ago, the Vertigo single wasn't even available so I had to ask a relative to contact a friend in Europe to send Are You Gonna Wait Forever (which is probably frowned on). I still don't have Pop Muzik with Bono on vocals, though I think it's in Alvin's "popstuff," nor do I have Don't Take Your Guns To Town (I've heard I'm not missing much there) and several remixes.

    Physical copies pop up some on Amazon, but they're pricey a lot of the time. I managed to get one of the editions of Discotheque at a local used book/record/cd store for cheap but that's about all.
  5. Don't hate on Don't Take Your Guns To Town I find that HTDAAB and NLOTH stuff can be hard to get hold of here at prices that I think are reasonable. Achtung Baby and Pop however I could swim in.
  6. Now, Discothèque is the one I see most often.

    Actually, I have the deluxe book/DVD thing of HTDAAB and got that for a decent price, maybe $6 or $7 (USD). And I'm not sure what my No Line edition is, I got it at the same used bookstore and it has a poster that folds out of it.
  8. That's the one I see most too. Mofo remixes was available for a while on Amazon digitally I believe, but they took it off it was on there.
  9. Oh the albums are fine enough, but I can't get hold of Magnificent without paying through my nose. I should've bought them all when they were released. I travelled miles to get GOYB when it was released and picked up the CD and vinyl for £5. I only managed to get Crazy Tonight last year on CD and it was sealed.

    It sounds like you have the middle tier copy of NLOTH. Is it the one with the plastic sleeve that has '=' printed on the front? I bought the standard copy when it was released, then picked up the next tier edition around 2013. What I don't have is the (I believe it was called...) magazine edition.

    Yep, that's the edition I have. And Magnificent and Crazy Tonight I have digitally, plus the mixes on the Artificial Horizon vinyl, my one true gem of that era. Having GOYB on vinyl sounds awesome
  11. I was lucky enough to win two of the numbered NLOTH vinyl collection boxes back in 2009, but unfortunately I only ever had GOYB to fill one of them with. I store my other vinyl singles in the other. I will complete the set one day.

    You have Artifical Horizon? That is cool. I love the Staring at the Sun remix on there. Such a chilled summer vibe. Made even better by using the live version from Popheart in the mix.

    Very cool you managed to get 2...I'm not sure I've ever seen one, I'll have to check those out. Which singles do you own on vinyl?

    Artificial Horizon was a Christmas gift last year, which was awesome, I'd wanted it forever. I have is hanging, framed, but I might take it back down because playing it on my turntable is a lot of fun though I did rip it first. I love that Staring at the Sun remix on there, plus the Fish out of Water remix of GOYB. I also love the Falke Radio Mix of Magnificent.
