So my point being: I'm not looking to build a collection from free tracks FFS. I was pretty clearly asking for things that one: wouldn't be on iTunes and two: are things U2 fans, COLLECTORS, would have. I'm 47, have been a fan for over 30 years, and am well past looking to mooch off the internet for my music, unless it is stuff I simply don't have a way to find any other way. And, to be honest, fan forums USED to be full of people willing to help out and point other U2 fanatics on the way in their pilgrimage. Sad to see those times are dying.
So, my lesson learned. This is the internet. And it's a FORUM on the internet. It's much easier to judge and throw rocks first, ask questions later. Or just throw the rocks, cuz that's more fun.
(Heh. Just noticed this self-appointed spokesperson ("WE'RE not going to help you...") for the forum is someone who registered 4 years ago... I go back only 12 years. But, clearly, I'm just here for the handouts. )
I got some help from other forum members and other forums. Thanks to those with constructive, friendly help. Larry had two words for the rest of you.
