News: U2
Win U2′s ‘Achtung Baby’ Super Deluxe Box Set!
U2 is going all out to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Achtung Baby, with massive reissue sets that include previously unheard material and a wealth of special-edition goods enough to satiate any superfan. Antiquiet’s getting in on the party, by hooking you up with the Super Deluxe Box Set!
The 20 Years of Achtung Baby project was released Monday in five different formats, including unreleased material and the new documentary From the Sky Down, directed by Oscar-winner Davis Guggenheim. The Super Deluxe Box Set includes six CDs, four DVDs, a 92 page hardback book and16 art prints – in addition to a DVD version of From the Sky Down.
If you’ve got $130 to burn, head over to Amazon and pick up your copy. Or you could get really savvy with it and grab one from Antiquiet – we’re giving one of these monsters away to one lucky winner! All you need to do is ‘Like’ Antiquiet on Facebook, and leave a comment with a reason why you should win. Pretty easy, right?
Recorded in 1991, this album – U2′s seventh – marked a pivotal point in U2′s career. Twenty years ago, Bono described Achtung Baby as “the sound of four men chopping down The Joshua Tree”. The album won a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance and became one of the most significant records of the ’90s and of U2’s career.
If you’re looking for an even deeper U2 fix, Showtime and Showtime on Demand is currently airing (through Nov. 26) Academy Award winning director Davis Guggenheim’s documentary “From the Sky Down,” the story behind the making of Achtung Baby. Featuring never-before-seen footage and new interviews, join Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen, Jr. and Adam Clayton as they celebrate the 20th anniversary of this visionary triumph. Check your local listings.
I’d love to win this. Pretty much their best album and I’m glad that they went to the effort of really putting something amazing out instead of just re-releasing with a few b-sides added on the end.
Thank you for this contest

I would really love to get the U2 Achtung Deluxe… What a package! This is a massive way to celebrate this awesome album.

The collection is amazing.. I’d love to win this – it’s Even Better Than the Real Thing ;)
I should win because I fucking hate this band, but this would look nice in my record collection.
This album meant a lot to me when it came out, and it still resonates with me today. This collection is actually worthy to be called a “Super Deluxe Box Set”.
Because u2 music it’s real spiritual food, my achtung baby cassette tape went damage from so many years of listening and … at the moment I son’t have a job so S.O.S !!
