Edited 2 days agoSpeaking as someone who has absolutely NO interest in the remixes, side D should have been B sides or anything other than remixes. But I suppose it’s amazing for those who really dig the remixes…
Yes I only wanted to post this to
Complain Wah Wah -
I own an original from 1993 and this is pretty nice too but I'm always a bit iffy when it comes to added dance remixes in the album package. There was a lot of material from back then and if they did a box set it would have been better.

Nice sound vinyl. Has the posibity to turn it up whitout distorsion like the CD has. I didn't hear any inner groove distorsion ehiter. -

Unfortunately the recording of the CD is terrible, it's hard to understand how such rubbish can be put on the market -

Edited one year agoLike a few people on this thread, I'm hearing some weird distortions, unevenness and muffled sounds esp on side 2. Lemon sounds particularly bad. This is my third pressing of this album (+ Original UK and Brazillian) and it’s not a big improvement. I think I’m resigned to the fact that it’s perhaps the only album I know that I prefer to listen to on CD. It’s the most ‘digital’ album in U2s catalogue, sonically and in intent, so it kinda makes sense.

Every copy of this that I've seen has a small crease at the top left corner. Certainly not a big deal but curious if anyone received a copy that didn't have this.
-
I really love this LP: inspired, electronic, new wave in some sense, great music: MASTERPIECE.
- Packaging is wonderful, the gatefold metal foiled sleeve is top notch, same level of the LP artistic value.
- Pressing in general is great, gives new life, space and details to most of the songs (A2 Babyface above all)
- My copy: here I have some doubts, I read that this remaster reveals sounds you could not hear before (I can compare with the original 1993 cd..), but I hear strange buzzy scratches in A1 Zooropa (expecially in the first instrumental part) and somewhere also in A3 Numb that IMHO are unwanted => can someone tell if you have the same issue (I still have some days left to ask Amazon for a substitution....).
