Working tapes: Achtung Baby | vinyl/cover (silver)

- The Achtung Baby Working Tapes 
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 ways 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) casettes. 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 hand's of bootleggers. Since then, the U2 'working tapes' have been pressed in a variety of forms. 

May 1991 - THE NEW U2: REHEARSALS AND FULL VERSIONS 2XLP versions  :
The debut pressing of the sessions. Available on vinyl only, as two separate double album packages. The covers were identical except for the colors of the lettering. One cover featured silver lettering ,while the other had gold. In this pressing both LP's of the silver lettered album proved to be identical. This resulted in four LP's being released, but with only three LP's worth of material.

Nov. 1991 - THE NEW U2: REHEARSALS AND FULL VERSIONS 5LP BOX SET :  
This time new extended pressings were released as a very limited Edition boxed set of 5 LP's. Surprisingly, there was no duplication within the set. All of these LP's were pressed on translucent vinyl, in either blue or green (pink pressings have also been rumored). There were now 5 LP's worth of material available, which came to a staggering total of 3 hours, 27 minutes, and 28 seconds !
