    The Achtung Baby announcement shouldn’t impact anything. They were due to finish up at the end of September based on the announcement last year. And looks like they are right on schedule. Both HTDAAB and NLOTH to go. The SOI / SOE ones are all available at 1080 already but they could do some upgrades to 4K there as well.

    This could be slightly unrelated but possibly not given the video upgrades and how they could use them. Could we expect 3 releases from the band within the next year all focused on older material? with AB 30, the acoustic reworks and there’s also been the career boxset or release at least mentioned. I guess the reworks could go with a career spanning boxset right enough. Just seems like there’s a few things going on in that respect behind the scenes from the bits and pieces rumoured.
  3. Where was the boxset mentioned?

    The video upgrades are being done as part of a wider project between Universal and YouTube. A lot of artists are being done. And its expanded to other labels as well. It’s not just a U2 thing. I don’t think it’s any indication of a release coming. Lady Gaga, R.E.M., Madonna, Billy Idol, etc. are all going through the same process.

    That U2X compilation rumour was 100% tied to the launch of the U2 Exhibition in Dublin. A shared promo. That exhibition hasn’t progressed during the lock downs. The old studio was still standing the last time we went by which wasn’t long ago. I don’t expect to see one until the other is ready.

    That makes sense why things have went a bit quieter with the u2x compilation then. I guess there’s not really a rush or specific timescale for a career greatest hits or whatever it would be anyway so I could see why that’s a thing to tie in with the exhibition, cheers for the info.
  6. It was always like that
