U2 - U2 Medium, Rare & Remastered [2009] CD1+CD2

U2 - U2 Medium, Rare & Remastered [2009] CD1+CD2


U2 'Medium, Rare & Remastered is a 2009 Twenty-track limited edition FANCLUB ONLY 2-CD album set. A compilation of rarities and remastered tracks, featuring tracks that were released as part of The Complete U2 digital box set, session tracks, bonus discs of remastered albums and single B-sides. Each disc housed in a custom card sleeve, with outer picture slipcase, and a fold-out poster inside! [U2.com4]

Owning this set is worth it simply for the pleasures of listening to Native Son, All Because of You (a different and, in my opinion, far superior version to the album version), Levitate, and Trash, Trampoline, and the Party Girl. These four songs excel, especially Native Son. Wow! What a captivating, powerful, and politically-charged song! Vertigo (the song Native Son eventually became) will seem boring after you listen to it!  This is one of those things that die hard fans will enjoy, and so will people who don't nessisarily like U2. It has a wide variety of songs and the "B" sides to various singles or EP's.This album is what it says it is. Medium, Rare and Remastered. (Amazon)

    1. Hi Aging Child,
      I am also a huge U2 fan, Have seen them 6 times in concert. I think they are innovative, always reinventing. The guitar work is something to behold. Plus they write excellent songs. It amazing that they have been active since 1976 (43 years) and still remain current.

      Cheers

    2. Quite agree! I can't number how many times I've heard a new release from them, and thought, "I haven't heard them do _this_ before!" Thanks, Butter!

  2. Hi Butterboy,
    Many thanks for this. A great listen. Like you I've seen them several times over the years and they never fail to provide a spectacle to remember. Amazing, and unusual, for the same line-up to be maintained for over 40 years now. Time flies - hard to believe that they've provided a soundtrack for much of my adult life.
    Cheers,
    Jackson
