Great tracks,but...
I paid around 20 dollars for it plus international shipment. the CD I was sent was not the original one with a stamp on it saying 'limited edition' neither brand new. Shame on the store!.


It's great!
This album gives you everything you need to know about U2's early work. A perfect beginner's guide to U2. It eliminates the fluff. It gives you some nice moments. The only thing I wish it contained was 40. This is a song that they used to close numerous shows in the 80's. It really was a piece of their history that is left out here. .


Great collection of songs from the best band in History
The very best of their early stuff, songs like pride, where the streets, with or without you, sunday bloody sunday, and many more are the best of the past. This is U2's first day at its best. If you've never heard U2 and you hear this album you'll know why they are the best band in history. This is U2's classics.


The hits
Has all the hits that a casual fan needs, plus a 2nd disc with B sides which is interesting.


A greatest hits is not a best of....

If you want the best, get all the other cd's ! As you know, there is some songs that didn't hit the charts but are U2 classics, like "Bullet the blue sky" for instance, you won't find it on this double cd. If you want the hits, from this era, 80-90, this is the one to get.
So, the hits are on cd 1. The other cd is for die hard fan, just like me, who want everything realease by the band. There is some good addition like "Spanish Eyes", "Love comes Tumbling" and "Silver and Gold" in its studio version (We have this song in live version on Rattle and Hum) So, with this realease, U2 please their die hard fan with cd 2 and their "hits fans" with cd 1. Recommanded for both !.
