Third U2-2 Download!

[jw]

maybe they are just delaying it so they can use it as the subscriber gift for two years. when was duals actually shipped? and how long was it for the one before that?

Don't recall the actual release dates, but since 2005 they've released a fan club CD every year with the exception of 2008.

maybe i need to cut them more slack. seems like this has been going on for more than a year tho.

Found some release dates in Wikipedia, U2.com seems to be on a 13 month schedule lately.

Feb 2009 - Medium Rare Remastered
Mar 2010 - Artificial Horizon
Apr 2011 - Duals
May 2012 - U22 (assuming U2.com's "early May release" announcement holds true)

So is this still considered "early May" that we're in.

Apparently. I figure early May in the U2 camp is May 1-30th.

Does that mean U22 will be all downloads only?

Well if it is, sure wish they'd post the links!

Was kind of thinking the same thing. I'm not expecting this anytime soon anymore. Hoping it might be a nice Christmas gift.

From the U2.com site....

------------------------------------

U22 is all set for release - and if you've resubscribed for 2012 there's a special bonus track ready for you to download right now.

By the end of the month this definitive live record of U2360° - as decided by you, the fans - will be on its way to everyone who's resubscribed for 2012.

And on May 30th you'll be able to download EIGHT more tracks.

Sequenced and mastered by the band and their production team, the live CD set sounds sensational and the accompanying book is a work of beauty!

Production has taken slightly longer than planned but to make the final wait pass a little more quickly, today we're making available a fourth live track for download - and this time it's a bonus track that's not on U22.

I just got the email. They sure do know how to string us along. So now we get eight download tracks on May 30th. So that just means we won't get the physical CD any time soon. They are just appeasing us at this point. If it's already mastered and sequenced then give us a tracklisting already. I'm still saying Christmas time we actually receive it.

No mention of whether or not the 8 bonus tracks are on U22 or tracks that didn't make the cut. I'm guessing these are tracks that made it but it really doesn't make much sense to download those on may 30th if the CDs are in fact on their way by then.

Regardless, the unknown caller download is nice as it should have made the cut. Was awesome live during the 2009 leg of the tour.

[Droo]

Oh please let some of those eight tracks be other unreleased tracks. I would love to get my hands on mastered live recordings of Scarlet, Miss Sarajevo, Your Blue Room, etc.

[MarsGirl~Descends to Hell for a bottle of milk]

I am pleased they are giving us Unknown Caller. I agree with Droo in that I hope they give us the rest that didn't make the cut!!!

[OnlyU2]

I tried to download Unknown Caller, and it game me the message; 400-Bad request ! Is it my computer, or what? HELP!
