• Track Listing

Mixing raw emotion with a sonic 180-degree turn sounds like a potentially fatal formula—but U2 did that with Achtung Baby and were rewarded with one of the biggest smashes of their career. Reaching #1 in late ’91, the album stayed on the charts for an amazing 97 weeks, giving U2’s fans five new hits to cherish: The Fly; Mysterious Ways; One; Even Better Than the Real Thing, and Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses. Now, the haunting melodies, propulsive beats and massive guitars of Achtung Baby return to us four ways. Get it on remastered CD or the 2-CD deluxe version, which adds 15 additional tracks including B-sides and remixes (Blow Your House Down; Salomé; their spins on Paint It Black; Satellite of Love; Fortunate Son, and more). The ultra-limited four-LP vinyl box includes the complete album plus remixes of Lemon; Salomé; Mysterious Ways; Night and Day; Even Better Than the Real Thing, and more. And the super-deluxe?: Achtung Baby and Zooropa in their entirety plus B-sides, previously unheard music recorded during the Achtung sessions, 4 DVDs (including the From the Sky Down documentary, the Zoo TV special, all the Achtung videos and bonus material), a hardback book and 16 art prints. Achtung!, U2 fans…this is big!
