Description
Original 4LP set purchased new in Amsterdam many years ago. Rarely played these very rare record has been stored in my basement. The cover shows some signs of ring wear (see photos) . The records are in an average to good used condition. They play well. Black labels tend to show fingerprints. I would say if you are looking for a decent copy of this rare disk then grab it now.
In the winter of 1990, U2 were hard at work in Hansa Ton recording studios in Berlin, Germany. The ultimate result of this effort would be the November '91 release of their next album, Achtung Baby. However, in December 1990 that album was a great way off, because U2 (unlike most other bands) entered the studio with very few lyric or song ideas.
Instead, U2 came into the studio to create as well as record. Here they sought inspirations for songs
from playing together. They would 'etch' out ideas while improvising around some basic idea, or riff. Since all this 'jamming' was taking place in a recording studio, even the simplest of ideas was captured on tape. The highlights of these tapes were then edited down and compiled into 'working tapes' recorded onto DAT (Digital Audio Tape) cassettes. Tapes of this nature were used to hold possible
song ideas, as well as a means for Brian Eno (and others) to hear the band's progress and make suggestions about the music.
In April of 1991, it was announced that such tapes had found their way into the hands of bootleggers.
Since then, the U2 'working tapes' have been pressed in a variety of forms.
