Great Addition to Your U2 Collection
I had this CD in my changer in the car, which got stolen (service? car wash? GRRRR). If you are a U2 fan like me and have pretty much all their CD's, this is a great addition. You can't find this in stores anymore, it was only ever available in Target years ago. Anyways I was very excited to find these available on Amazon. I love the new mix of Elevation the best.


NOT NECESSARY
This does not mean, however, that I'm gonna spend money on many copies of the same songs. I'm a U2 fan, which means that I want every version of every U2 song ever made.

I'm a kid, I don't make much money and I don't want to buy unnecessary songs.

If you want these songs, by all means buy them. I want more songs, however.

If one were to purchase "The Complete U2" from the US iTunes store, they would only be missing "Stuck In A Moment. . . " from this CD. That song was recently itself made available in the iTunes store.


How Hardcore Are You?
If you're into those, then this is a handy way to get your hands on seven of them. This is pretty typical fare for U2 B-sides. For reference, the singles can be found elsewhere:

So, considering that all of these tracks are available elsewhere, how hardcore are you? To get all five singles you'd spend at least $60, but you would also get a total of 19 tracks (instead of 7, but 19 also includes 2 regular singles that are available as a matter of course with the "Everything you can't. . . " album).

For a casual U2 fan, I'd recommend this album. The tracks are fairly strong, although I could certainly live without a "single edit" version of Walk On. If you don't care about remixes or alternate versions, though, you can pick up the three original tracks on iTunes Music Store.

For the hardcore fan, I'd only recommend this if you're enough of a fanboy to throw a hissy fit because you don't EVERY SINGLE U2 ALBUM EVER MADE! Or if your anal retentiveness instists on have the packaging, as opposed to buying the tracks from iTunes Music Store.

Otherwise, if you just care about hearing/owning the remixes and the other B-sides, go seek out the singles. Amazon seems to have a complete collection of U2 singles, but the iTunes Music Store has a fairly complete collection, as well, that lets you pick and choose the tracks from a single release without also paying for the single track that you already have anyway. You'll save money, but you won't have the packaging.


Rare compilation - worth buying
In my opinion a "must have" for a true U2 fan! . Ï'd like to recommend this record to any U2 fan for sure! The acoustic "Stuck In a Moment You Can't Get Out Of" is brilliant, the "Elevation" remix as well and the other five tracks are good, too.


Great Album!
Stuck in a Moment you can't get out of is soooo good. This album has all very good songs on it. The only track that takes a while to warm up to is the remix of Beautiful Day, this is only because "Beautiful day" only takes up about 3 minutes of an 8 minute long track, the rest is techno. Overall, this is deffinitly worth your money.

Oh, and by the way that should be 5 stars, wouldn't let me change it for some reason :(.
