U2 re-releases Achtung Baby
To mark the 20th anniversary of one of the most notable albums of their career, U2 will re-release Achtung Baby in five different collector formats, reports Rolling Stone.
For ultimate U2 fans, the Uber Deluxe Edition seems the clear choice, comprising a mother lode of exclusive material including six CDs, four DVDs and five clear vinyl 7-inch singles. An 84-page book, 16 art prints, U2 badges – and even a replica pair of sunglasses made famous by Bono sweeten the pot.
The Super Deluxe Edition will also contain the six CDs and four DVDs, plus a 92-page book and 16 art prints, while the limited Vinyl Box Set offers four LPs – two of which are pressed on translucent blue vinyl – containing special remixes and B-sides.
The Deluxe Edition compiles two CDs containing B-sides and rarities in addition to the original disc and lastly, a Standard Edition coupling the original Achtung Baby with the newly remastered version rounds out the selection.
The remastered album, in all five of its editions, will be available as of November 1.
