Achtung Baby [VINYL]

Product Information

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. It is an album with universal appeal that draws from a variety of influences to winning effect and remains an excessive, fresh and relevant creation from a mature band at the peak of their powers. Another nice thing about hearing Achtung BABY on vinyl is that I can turn it up pretty loudly on my amp with out the music hurting my ears (which happens with some recordings, particularly poorly mastered digital ones). That said it’s surprising how good this pressing is given it’s close to an hour in total and record companies in the early nineties gave little love to vinyl releases. I grew up on my dad's early hard rock tapes went through goa and now into experimental electronica, I do like this electro-pop-rock U2, same little cheese as in the 80's but rich.

It's enjoyable especially after seeing "From the Sky Down" and how the band used to see these cars abandoned daily because their East German drivers made the pilgrimage to Berlin just as the cars gave out. There is no question about the album’s importance at the time and Achtung BABY remains a classic recording for U2.

Turn “Love Is Blindness” way up loud to get an idea of what I’m talking about… Raw guitar sounds can be beautiful if they are handled properly. Vinyl in excellent condition, very minimal spindle marks, minimal background noise, scuffs and superficial surface marks. A limited-edition black vinyl release of the Grammy-award winning U2 album Achtung Baby, to celebrate its 30 thAnniversary.

The latter was a 20th anniversary edition and contained six CDs, four DVDs, a 2LP version of the album and five singles pressed on transparent vinyl in special oversized wallets. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases. Yes I own a lot of the material already but the new items and the packaging (mainly the book) justify double dipping for this release.

The album featured five singles: 'The Fly', 'Mysterious Ways', 'One', 'Even Better Than The Real Thing' and 'Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses'. Released to widespread critical acclaim in November 1991, the record topped charts around the world, and saw the band take home the Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance. I wish they could have cleaned up the video for this release but that may have something to do with how it was originally shot. The reason for mentioning this is because U2 have just announced some 30th anniversary editions of the Achtung Baby album and the contrast to the activity ten years ago is stark. Even as late as the Joshua Tree, U2's stories had political and social depth, though the pretentiousness had started creeping in by then.

While I really enjoy this documentary it seems to have a problem decided if it is a film about the history of U2 or a film about the making of Achtung Baby. The new edition includes a bonus poster and a full-sized, full-color version of the booklet — so now you can see all the detail on the chessboard-like photo collage! In the edit page, go to the 'Metadata' tab and add your Juno artist, label or release page for listeners to purchase your release / releases. Although 2011 is probably best remembered as the year of Pink Floyd’s ‘Immersion’ box sets, there were two mega-boxes which were ahead of their time and helped define a new era of ‘super deluxe edition’ box sets.The cover is poor coloured, but the record's sound is fine, I have re-issue Netherland and no have much different, rich bass, light trebles. 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. Also used was a DAT — a 16-bit digital tape recording format — as well as a controller which enabled sync with emerging digital audio workstations like Pro Tools. He is also a musician / composer whose songs have been used in TV shows such as Smallville and Men In Trees as well as films and documentaries. Produced by long time U2 collaborators, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno with Steve Lillywhite, 'Achtung Baby' was engineered by Flood and led by The Fly, and also featured four other singles, 'Mysterious Ways', 'One', 'Even Better Than The Real Thing' and 'Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses'.
