Achtung Baby [VINYL]

Product Information

Also used was a DAT — a 16-bit digital tape recording format — as well as a controller which enabled sync with emerging digital audio workstations like Pro Tools. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers. Produced by long-time U2 collaborators, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, with Steve Lillywhite, the album features the singles 'The Fly', 'Mysterious Ways', 'One', 'Even Better Than the Real Thing' and 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses'. What they’ve done instead is offer fans a “digital box” (coming on 3 December) that includes Uber Remixes, Unter Remixes and B-Sides with “22 tracks never before available digitally”.

Although 2011 is probably best remembered as the year of Pink Floyd’s ‘Immersion’ box sets, there were two mega-boxes which were ahead of their time and helped define a new era of ‘super deluxe edition’ box sets. It's enjoyable especially after seeing "From the Sky Down" and how the band used to see these cars abandoned daily because their East German drivers made the pilgrimage to Berlin just as the cars gave out.

Zooropa appears to be the same mix but is still a great album and I hope it gets its own edition when the time comes.

Irrespective of the source, all of our collectables meet our strict grading and are 100% guaranteed. So it stands to reason that the album is effectively a hybrid production (which is not necessarily a bad thing folks). In the meantime, the new 2LP vinyl edition of the album is being released on 19 November 2021 (this Friday!The reason for mentioning this is because U2 have just announced some 30th anniversary editions of the Achtung Baby album and the contrast to the activity ten years ago is stark. Produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and recorded between Berlin’s Hansa Studios and various locations in Dublin, this Grammy award winning album was released to huge critical acclaim in 1991. Yes I own a lot of the material already but the new items and the packaging (mainly the book) justify double dipping for this release.
