Whatever you think of the song itself, Stuck in a Moment is more pertinent today than it was 20 years ago.

@u2wanderer Oh wow, I didn’t know that. KInda surprised they did a CD collection now. Wonder if a Bomb reissue in 4… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@u2wanderer I guess they maybe thought the vinyl market might still be too small to be worth passing over a CD release?
Zooropa was at least included with Achtung Baby, including some remixes. But Pop and Rattle & Hum being skipped is… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@eddie_corrigan Looking at it there is no doubt.
@adamsmind @U2 A clarification from someone who was there. The main date of recording (the 6th) only a couple of pe… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
None of the stuff outside the main album has been on vinyl before. I think the vinyl will be a fantastic release. J… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
MattElford @u2gigs I couldn’t find the Tomb Raider Mix of Elevation. Did I skim over it or is it in the box set?
@U2 So to close this long thread off I go back to the very first tweet, and looking at this release what do I think… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 So! After all of this, what do we have for the non-casual U2 fan/collector that is new in this big 5-disc relea… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 So let’s close this out with a look at the physical goodies. There’s a 32-page photo book which is good, and a… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 You know what, I’m not even going to get into the stuff from the ATYCLB era that was released but isn’t include… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@adamsmind @U2 The band got tired of seeing the same faces; supposedly a fresh look up front would give them more e… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@U2 And given the controversy of this particular set of shows… honestly I’m surprised that the band would even wa… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 Again, my point here is not to endorse illegal downloading. Nor is it to try and justify it to myself. My point… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 So if people want to listen to the Boston audio, of course they look online for it. Maybe it is not the most et… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 Now this is not an endorsement or encouragement at piracy. And yes, this is the first time the AUDIO of this co… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 And last… look, nobody likes a pirate. But the audio from this concert has been ripped from the DVD and float… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 Second (and this is the pedant in me), Wake Up Dead Man can hardly be called a live track here. It’s a single v… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 So we come to the live disc, which might be where my biggest issue with this release lies. At a glance it is cl… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 On to the remixes. Here we have 11 songs, four of them new. Okay, that’s not as bad as it could be. It isn’t go… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
@U2 Let’s compare to the other reissues here:
ATYCLB: 9 songs, 0 new

Lets look at the B-sides disc first. It has 9 songs on it. None are new. All are easy to find. Most of these you co… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Now we get to the 4-‘disc’ digital and 5-disc physical release, and this is where I really start having a problem w… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
The 2-disc release is where I start raising an eyebrow. Okay, this is aimed at the casual fan instead of us but you… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Okay, the remastered album on the first disc. That’s great and expected. It may not have needed a remaster as much… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Look, no casual fan is going to go out and buy the digital 4-disc or physical 5-disc. A casual will pick up the sin… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Will anyone get upset if I say the upcoming re-release of ATYCLB is a big disappointment? I look at the big 5-disc… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
