U2.com subscription presents / subscribers gifts

Originally posted by cesar_garza01:I just want to say that this version of I Will Follow included in the subscription gift is fantastic. We have very few good quality recordings (Hilversum is the only other one, as far as I know) of these super early versions with the different intro and amazing bass part.

Originally posted by blueeyedboy:Yeah, my U2 boots are pretty extensive... vinyl and cd. I used to be my local record stores guinea pig. If it could be had, I wanted it. Then I'd report back on sound quality so they'd know if they should get another one in... With the vinyl, even if they sounded bad, you still had a work of art in your hands with the cover and art. I can tell from this conversation you know exactly what I mean!

I've actually only ever sold 3 pieces, and only because the offer was too good to pass up. Of course, in reflection, I kinda wish I hadn't... I had an inflatable Trabant car promotional piece from Achtung, the original vinyl release box set of Salome (early Achtung sessions) and the Zoo Radio Transmit promo CD.

NICE!!!

I have the genuine U2 Condoms (ribbed for her pleasure), some Bono-bucks, and a few radio-promo CDs from a friend who worked at a big station in Detroit during PopMart.

I've never been huge on the "stuff" - more just the music. The fruitlegs are a good example. I've got hard copy vinyl of Melon plus CDs of More Melon and Papaya. That kind of thing.

I know the feeling though. The bootleg movement was WAY bigger in Europe than in Canada (and the US I'm guessing). My local CD shop only got 1 or 2 U2 shows a month maybe, but when I was in Austria there was thi great shop in Vienna called Big Ear Music (burnt down in like 1999 apparently) that had HUNDREDS. So I bought New Year's Night In Dublin, and JT Denver
