Achtung Baby [VINYL]

Product Information

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. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse. There is one great part though when Bono and The Edge are listening to some of the original sessions a certain song suddenly morphs into another and a huge light bulb goes off. When I’ve listened on the streams and the CD, by the time I get to the second half of the album my ears and mind are a bit digitally exhausted.

Produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and recorded between Berlin's Hansa Studios and various locations in Dublin, 'Achtung Baby' was released to critical acclaim in 1991 and is regarded as one of U2's most seminal albums. The band then waltzes in high gear through the 6/8-time “Acrobat”driving toward the rich moody ending of “Love Is Blindness. And mine is definitely a first pressing - I won it on a Radio One phone-in a week or so prior to release. Products labelled '*item fulfilled by Exertis on behalf of hmv' will be supplied to you directly by Exertis via their approved couriers.That being said, Achtung Baby is an album that really lends itself to remixes but I think Disc 4 is the better of the remix CDs. Artwork based on the original, expanded to accommodate 2 LPs, and includes a lyric sheet plus Download. Incidentally, here’s something interesting to consider; when Achtung Baby was reissued in 2011 there was no vinyl version available separately. If U like U2, get a good original 1991 copy (black vinyl) and enjoy the sound and the picture of this great U2 collector!

One of these was The Smiths Complete – a gigantic box which contained eight CDs, 11 vinyl LPs and 25 seven-inch singles – and the other was the ‘über deluxe’ of U2’s 1991 album Achtung Baby. Some stick fairly close to the original (Zoo Station, One) and some are almost brand new songs (Even Better Then The Real Thing, Trying to Throw Your Arms Around the World).

Vinyl in excellent condition, very minimal spindle marks, minimal background noise, scuffs and superficial surface marks.
