I had a copy of coldplay's album a week before general release and even longer with the Arctic Monkeys. But if a leak does become available, I'll listen to it and then get shot of it as soon as I buy the album, in multiple format.

    If though, a leak becomes available of a rougher version than the final version, I'll keep it. Just because I like demo's and rough versions.

    Either way, i'll listen to a leak


    I also had VLV one or two weeks in advance, did other recent high profile albums like Day & Age leak? (I can't remember it leaking)

    Have ATYCLB, POP, Zooropa, AB been leaked as well?

    HTDAAB got leaked. Was it due to Edge's CD going missing? Maybe yes, maybe no.

    ATYCLB got leaked online early.

    I am not sure if POP did but I remember the hubbub when an early version of "Discotheque" leaked early.

    And Achtung Baby was HEAVILIY leaked not on line as the internet was not a going concern at the time but it was heavily bootlegs (IE: The Achtung Baby Tapes, Salome', Hansa Sessions, etc)

    Pop was not leaked. Only the Discotheque (Stolen Demo), as it was known, was leaked. It still happens to be one of the most well-protected albums, in regards to sessions etc. No song from the Pop sessions has leaked as yet.
  4. So the previous two albums were leaked in whole, were they leaked days or weeks before the official release?

    If so it's probably likely that NLOTH is going to be leaked as well, we all know how diehard us U2 fans are, like the guy who stole Bono's suitcase.

    I thought only four songs from Bomb were leaked - Vertigo, All Because of You, Love and Peace and another song - Yawheh or Miracle Drug? Someone ripped Mercy from some advance CD, which the original file is floating around still! I'm not sure about the ATYCLB leak either.

    No Line On The Horizon - I reckon they'll be keeping the lid on that one, and a tight lid it will be too.

    Hopefully Bono isn't entrusted with the keeping of any more cd's/tapes etc.

    And do you mean to say that there are two versions of Mercy?

    Great! I'm sure we'll live without the fancy cover. I did see Q Magazine just the other day, but I'll have to put a pre-order in on it. Apparently it sells out quicker than Rolling Stone Magazine.


    Borders in town always has alot of copies, (when ive been there they have), but since this new one is gona be so good they'll prob sell out quick.
