    Quite frustrated with this release for one specific reason; I purchased my copy from a local record store used and was very disappointed to learn that the record's serialization was printed on the sticker on the shrink wrap, meaning that my used copy's number is gone forever. I had no idea this was a serialized/numbered release until I added it to my discogs collection and saw the tag. I really wish that the number was printed somewhere on the record's sleeve! Besides this, solid release and sounds great!

      I Love these three songs and could listen to them all the time . I wish it was released on CD , So that us U2 Fans could keep our vinyls in pristine condition ...

        Sounds awesome. I really love U2 45 rpm cuts, they really open the music up and provide maximum clarity to the individual instruments. These songs sound great. Thick bass, punchy drums, dynamic vocals, wide soundstage. Vinyl feels like it's on the thicker side and its a quality pressing that plays dead quiet, comes in polylined sleeve.
