Excellent studio.

Comments:
This infamous bootleg of the 'Achtung Baby' sessions. Unlike the
majority of the numerous other CD pressings of this material, this was
mastered directly from the DAT's that U2 produced as working tapes
during the recording sessions. As such, the recording quality is
outstanding. The titles I have used here match those found in the
Salome "pseudo liner notes" (I'm not sure of the author of that document,
but it can be found at several U2 WWW sites. Quite interesting.). Many
of these songs are early versions of 'Achtung Baby' tracks, while others
are unique and unreleased songs or musical "ideas". The material is
somewhat repetitive (nine versions of Salome), but provides interesting
insight into the development and evolution of the songs. I don't know
of any bootlegged 'Achtung Baby' session material which does not appear
on this recording. Earlier pressings have Tracks 9 and 10 on Disc 1
indexed together. There are no titles anywhere on the packaging. The
back cover simply lists the length of each track. Discs 1 and 2 are
listed as having only 11 tracks each.
This is the original pressing on this label.
