Just look on ebay, most auctions are from the UK but shipping can't be that bad. They actually tend to be pretty cheap anyway.

Nick, thanks for the heads-up. I've been looking at eBay and I'm rather hesitant to have vinyl shipped across the pond. I may have to go ahead and do it though, as I'm completely striking out locally...

Hmmm....just found an auction w/ a NM Joshua Tree, NM Unforgettable Fire, and VG War, all for $10. Yes, I pulled the trigger

At least now I'll have an opened copy of UF to spin...

All very interesting guys...

But can anyone actually answer my question?

Have not heard of any plans for a re-release.

 

[Darren Pillans]

I asked this question a while back and thought I'd take another shot.

Many of my favorite artists such as Peter Gabriel, The Police, Sting and Simple Minds have all had their back-catalogues remastered and re-released with uniform CD packaging.

Surely, an immensely popular band such as U2 with a surprising number of dated and lame sounding CD's, deserve such treatment.

Does anyone know if or when U2's back catalogue will be remastered and re-released on CD?

Thanks in advance.

Is the above filled with spam links, or has something taken over my browser? The word "CD" is linked to a store on my browser. UPDATE: Nevermind, I just saw the announcement about IntelliText.

As for remasters, I'm all for them - but on CD? I suppose perhaps as they remaster them for SACD or DualDisc, maybe they'll also include the remasters for CD, but it is a little late now.

 

[Darren Pillans]

Anyone?

:frowning:

I haven't heard anything, but I would be interested as well. With the new album due out next month in makes sense that they would re-master there back catalog.
