U2 – Wide Awake In America

Great sound but a great bonus LP for fans looking for cool bonus tracks,

Usually pretty cheap too

After a side by side comparison of this pressing and my OG US, the OG US pressing is unfortunately the winner.

This one,

Much fuller and more dynamic. While this pressing does sounds great, there’s just a little extra boost in my OG US copy. I really was rooting for this pressing because of the root beer vinyl color, but alas the OG US is the winner

Vibrant recording and pressing. A lot of headroom. Bass has serious presence. Takes me back. That Unforgettable Fire tour was amazing. They weren’t megastars yet and still played like they were hungry.

I miss this version of U2! Just amazing. I think the version of "Bad" that appears on this one is the definitive version.

This is a little gem. U2 fans need to have.

From '85, four nicely chosen (live?) tracks from the Unforgettable Fire tour. Old school fans will tell you "Bad" was the band's "With Or Without You" prior to Joshua Tree. It is beautiful and stirring, especially live.
I love the Brian Eno production, however, noting U2 is one of those bands that sounds even better live than on their highly polished studio releases. Under A Blood Red Sky is a must-have too, btw.

Gorgeous recording and mixing here. Great pressing and just really enjoyable full sound overall. Bass is very prominent.

Four stars. Recommended.

Damned Club edition. Oh well it's in mint condition sealed, and unopened.

Just picked up a sealed copy today and I must say it’s phenomenal! The performances and mastering of this pressing are flawless for me at the right price. Bernie Grundman magic on this one… nuff said!

I have a gold embossed promo copy---has anyone one else?

Great pressing, well balanced and clear. Much better then the new remastered version.
