Next couple of months will see the remastered and expanded releases of Nevermind and Achtung Baby, along with righteous goodies.  Single album editions, double CD sets, multiple CD box sets, vinyl box sets...I'm like a kid in a candy store.  The 20-year-old discs just ain't cuttin' it on my newer equipment.  Hoping neither are victims of loudness-gate...

  I'm in there like swimwear...

Is that a 10 disc set for Achtung Baby?  10 discs?? :o

  That's what I thought, too.  Unreleased material?  Studio rough cuts?  Demos? boyohboyohboyohboy..!

  I can live without remixes, but probably those too...

If I could guess what all 10 discs would be ...

Original CD Single - The Fly

  That's pretty ridiculous, but still kinda cool...

  On U2, and especially this album, everything they've released since AB indicates they've become what they railed against.  I couldn't care less about anything they've released since AB, but I'm sure glad they released that one...

i only have Achtung Baby on Cassette :/

  Are you still playing cassettes...

Of their 90s efforts, 'Achtung Baby' was their best.  Back in the day, 'Mysterious Ways' was a song I played non stop.  All of those extras do seem kind of ridiculous, but for the average U2 fan, it is definately a gold mine 8)
