Just a correction to info. above on the 2nd Disc of U2’s “Songs Of Innocence”
The 2nd CD on the delux edition actually has a track listing of 6 tracks, however, one of those tracks is called “Accoustic session” which is over 18 minutes long, and contains 5 accoustic versions of the CD 1 album tracks, therefore there are really 11 tracks in total on the 2nd CD, including the 5 accoustic tracks which are listed as 1 track.
Quick note Paul, the 12″ 80s sets are three-disc sets not two-disc . Definitely concur that they are appealing.
I’ll be buying the new U2 album since I seem to be one of the few without an i-tunes account.
Not having an Apple products, I don’t see the point in having an i-tunes account.
