Comments:
The left two-thirds of the cover has a picture of Bono in his Fly gear singing (with a Trabant behind him) and Adam in the background. The right third is white with the title. The back has the track listing and a picture of The Edge with his ski roll cap on playing guitar. The inside has recording locations (some are incorrect), and another track listing. Nice, but hard to listen to all the way through, because just about every song is from a different venue. However, I (and many people I have talked to) buy bootlegs of U2 (and others) to get odd and off-the-wall recordings of songs not played at every concert. If you are one of these persons, buy this record immediately. This is one of three of the original pressings on this label.
