All the rips were made from silver CDs. *In case you ask, nope, I don't have the australian version of "Mysterious Ways" or any of the "promos" described in www.u2wanderer.org in lossless format. I only have them in lossy format, but I don't share lossy formats. * I used Sound Forge to increase the volume to +2.5db, and the clipped peak restoration plug-in. The clipping was minimal and nonclipped audio was not affected. * I did this compilation just for fun and with my intermediate audio knowledge, so: - If you're an audiophile, don't download this compilation. - If you're an audio purist, don't download this compilation. - If you don't like U2, don't download this compilation :) - If you're a professional audio editor, maybe you could share your knowledge with us and do your own compilation and share it here... instead of criticize ;) LINER NOTES: Bono: Vocals & Guitar.

OTHER NOTES: Achtung Baby was released after a long period away out of the public eye for U2. Rumours had it that they were recording something completely different, something which was dance music, or that they had broken up and there was no album coming. What the public got was something which was described as "the sound of four men chopping down the Joshua Tree". Very different from anything that had come before sonically, but still recognizable as U2. During the recording of the album, seven CDs worth of material was stolen from the studio, which quickly became available as bootlegs before the release of the album. The best of the seven discs worth of material was released as a three CD set called Salome. The other discs were mainly filled with instrumental tracks, and the sound of Larry working on beats. There was some concern over the cover of the album. On the back is a picture of Adam Clayton with full frontal nudity. Due to the concern in some regions, the design team at Works Associates designed an 'X' for placement over Adam's "member" and had it sent to production facilities. In some cases in the USA a green shamrock was used instead of which the design team was unaware. Although sounding like nothing that had come before, the album went on to be one of U2's most successful, and launched a very successful two year tour, and five successful singles.
