cranK!

yea but that U2 box set was over 400 tracks... that's actually quite a bargan. Now sure, if you bought all the cdsingles when they were released; then I can see the 'value' go down a bit, but still it was nice to have all the vinyl tracks released digitally, there were also quite a few promo-only remixes, and - of course the unreleased demos/outtakes/alternate versions of tracks (I still can't believe that they didn't use the 'alternate' version of Yahweh instead of the album one)

the only thing that frustraited me was the fact that there weren't any outtakes from the Achtung -> Pop phase, but you can win them all, eh?
