U2 fans - get ready to pay a LOT for the Uber edition of Achtung Baby

[john dough]

Kind of Blue is, without question, my favorite album. Pure bliss.

U2 has good albums and a few great ones, but I would tend to agree with Surfrider where Miles is timeless.

Remember when their last set included an iPod.

What is Salomé?

Salomé is the name of the most famous U2 bootleg, a 3-CD set of U2's early studio sessions for the Achtung Baby album. The set was released before the album in different forms under different names before the final collection -- just under 3-and-a-half hours of music -- came out in 1992. Because it includes very early recording material, Salomé offers a look into U2's songwriting process. Multiple versions of the same song appear on the set, with some tracks lasting as long as 13 minutes. To some U2 fans, an attempt at listening to Salomé would likely feel like root canal. To others, it has become a valued -- though unofficial -- part of U2's recording output. More recently, a seven-disc version of these studio sessions has surfaced. The additional material is made up of synthesizer and drum tracks, with little "complete" material.


i'm still pissed at Island for suing SST & Negativland, and by extension, at U2 for thinking so little of their fans that they thought someone might buy the Negativland disc thinking it was U2.

Wasn't arguing that. It's like saying fudge is good.

People will be enjoying "Afternoon Delight" 50 years from now too.
