anniversary edition of U2’s "Achtung Baby" is due on Nov. 1
To mark 20 years since its 1991 release, an anniversary edition of U2’s "Achtung Baby" is due on Nov. 1.
Recorded over six months at Hansa Studio in Berlin and Windmill Lane in Dublin, "Achtung Baby" is U2’s seventh studio album.
Produced by longtime U2 collaborators Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno with Steve Lillywhite, "Achtung Baby" was engineered by Flood and led by “The Fly.”
The album spawned four other singles: “Mysterious Ways,” “One,” “Even Better Than The Real Thing” and “Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses.”
From the press release:
The Achtung Baby archives have unearthed some previously unreleased songs from the recording sessions. With a raft of unreleased material, video, remixes, b-sides and documentary footage discovered, a full album of demo and early versions of the final 1991 tracklisting has also been revealed. Five physical editions including vinyl, CD, DVD and digital options will be made available. Full details of all formats are at

Earlier this year U2 returned to Hansa Studio in Berlin to discuss "Achtung Baby" in From "The Sky Down," directed by Academy Award-winning director Davis Guggenheim (Waiting for Superman, An Inconvenient Truth). The film has been selected to open the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8.
