The forthcoming standard and deluxe vinyl editions of the Achtung Baby (30th Anniversary Edition) will come out on November 19, setting the table for the upcoming 50 track digital boxset, which is available December 3.
That boxset will include many “Uber” and “Unter” remixes, B-Sides, and nearly two dozen tracks that have never been available before. Fans can pre-order all of the music here.
The band announced the news on social media, tweeting, “This Friday. Achtung Baby celebrates its 30th Anniversary with two Limited Edition Vinyl formats and a digital release. Pre-order your copy now http://u2.lnk.to/ab30“
“And U2 x Thierry Noir on view at HansaStudios, Kreuzberg, Berlin. November 19th – 26th. http://achtungbaby30.de#AchtungBaby30“
U2 also promoted an upcoming exhibit honoring the album on their website. The site reads: “To mark this month’s 30th anniversary of Acthung Baby, the band have collaborated with Berlin-based French artist Thierry Noir – the first artist to paint on the Berlin Wall – for a special one-off installation at the legendary Hansa Studios in Kreuzberg.”
Achtung Baby features some of the band’s most popular songs, including, “One” and “Mysterious Ways.” The album was originally released on November 18, 1991. The band had a tough time writing the album, with each member wanting to go in a different direction but with the improvised writing of “One,” the group had its direction.
The band recorded the album in Berlin’s Hansa Studios in October 1990. Today, it’s one of the group’s most beloved albums.
