My Entire U2 Vinyl Record Collection | Talking About Records

[@xfoolsgoldx]

Just remembered I have a Even better than the Real Thing 12" that comes with a giant poster. I would love a copy of The Fly and One on 12". Great collection you have👍

[@NTXVinyl]

Thanks! Not sure if I have that poster or not. Need to check

[@BMWTHEULTIMATEDRIVINGMACHINE]

I’m a HUGE u2 fan as u can see from my user name, I got records, merch, CDs 💿, an iPod u2 themed, EVERYTHING!!!!!

[@timothymorgan4441]

THIS IS GREAT …THANK YOU FOR BEING A CONSUMMATE COLLECTOR...

[@alexcampbell8203]

Love your collection. I’m a huge U2 fan and I also really got into them with How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. After that, I went back to discover everything else they’ve done and they’ve been my favorite band ever since.

[@brucecampbell7347]

That is Bonos son Elijah who now has a band called Inhaler, on Songs of Experience.

[@NTXVinyl]

Loving Inhaler’s latest single. Great song

[@dawnpatrol700]

I'm a huge U2 nut, and I have most of what you have, but you have a lot I don't - I don't have any of the fan club releases like Artificial Horizon and Melon. Passengers had been too expensive for me since 2008ish, when I saw it for 40. I should have grabbed it then. Some you're missing - the Mission Impossible 12inch, the Pop Mart sampler 12inch promo, the I'll Go Crazy Tonight UK double 7inch pack ( similar to the 12inch you have), but most of all, the 1979 CBS 12" of boygirl /stories/out of control, which was their 2nd release ever. I think mine is an early 80s reissue, I got it 83 War era, but it's on Columbia. The Beautiful Day was an American 12inch and had ONLY that song. It was the only way to get that song at the time, cause the CD wasn't out yet, like Pearl Jam did with VS and Vitalogy ( I preordered VS, and all my friends had me make tapes from the vinyl, since the CD didn't come out for a few weeks and they long ago ditched their turntables). I lucked out, Virgin Megastore had a ton of the Beautiful 12inchers. Had I known the future, I would have grabbed all of them lol. I got All That You Can't as an American promo pic disc, but oddly I couldn't get it here, had to order overseas. My collection is heavier on war through achtung era, I have multiple different versions of all those and my War 12inchers are out of control lol. The local radio in Connecticut, actually played "everlasting love" from the All I want 12inch as well as the Wide Awake ep (I miss good radio). I can't listen to Desire, unless it's the Hollywood remix with the background singers. I'm 52, I started hardcore collecting 12inchers from all kinds of bands in 84, they were 4.99 each new, which back then was a lot cause full albums were the same price on sale. 5 or 6 artists ( u2 / depeche / iron maiden / duran / Madonna / zz top) had so many 12inch singles they actually had a separate divider card that said Iron Maiden IMPORTS, in addition to the regular divider. I like all these bands, and there's no rhyme or reason to my music taste. I love stuff as vast as Iron Maiden and Madonna. Anyone who thinks Madonna sucks, listen to " dear Jesse segued into Oh Father" I became a fan/ collector of her too. By the way I recommend the DVD Heavy Metal Parking Lot- for the movie, but MORE for the extras. Normally I'm not an extras fan, but on that one, they have historical segments of the Cap Center being demolished, they track down the metal fans from 86 and find out what they're up to nowadays, it has extra movies - Neil diamond parking lot, Harry Potter parking lot, monster truck parking lot and they have a guy going through his Judas Priest vinyl, much like you just did. Me being a fan of all kinds of music, it's right up my alley. It's not the metal only fest you would expect

[@michaelscott8792]

October was released in 1981. Remember buying it on a whim from Houston’s Cactus Records and Tapes.

[@NTXVinyl]

Easily my least favorite U2 album. Has just never spoken to me.

[@AttackFromDownunda]

Lucky enough to catch the band on the " Love Comes To Town " Tour in Auckland. A great release to have is the New Zealand only pressing (as a single) of " One Tree Hill " . Nice video and collection.

[@DocJJohnson]

Great show...love U2 and many thanks

[@SarahJane-cj5nn]

Wow, this is absolutely incredible! Thank you so much for sharing with us!

[@NTXVinyl]

You’re welcome!

[@peterhawn6944]

Great video & love your collection. I’m a U2 fan. My favourite album is Boy, 1980 debut studio album.

[@NTXVinyl]

Right on! Thanks!

[@tygershakespeare333]

Thank you for the sharing. Would be keen to understand which studio versions of Joshua Tree sound best on your system?

[@joemorgan4740]

Great collection and a great band seen so many times from unforgettable fire to last tour. Have a lot of what you have and some more bootlegs. Plus I have the acthung baby Uber boxset . Favourite concert Joshua tree tour cork 1987. Hope you can collect more . My collection of U2 is growing larger . Kind regards joe

[@squiggmonster1495]

U2 is a great band...I suppose that everyone has their favorites...Joshua Tree and anything before that are my favorites.

[@vinylterry]

Cool collection. I’m a huge U2 fan but a little less obsessed than you. I have all the studio stuff except Passengers and I think I have all the RSD releases including Wide Awake in Europe plus the alternate Songs of Innocence. I don’t have many vinyl singles but have a bunch of CD singles I started buying in college. My obsessive artist I collect is Springsteen with tons of US and foreign albums and singles.

[@kyliemitchellharper6872]

It's Eli (bonos oldest boy) and Sian (edges daughter) on songs of experience!! Great collection though!

[@markcasley8628]

Nice collectable GI

[@billyboy67321]

Enjoyed your video I was mad on u2 when I was younger used to go to the record fairs and get some good stuff. I first got into them around 83/84 and seen them at Glasgow Barrowlands on the unforgettable fire tour and that was it incredible show and seen them 7 times on their joshua tree 1987 I’ve collected some interesting stuff over the years. Got a lot of stuff you have. I mostly listen to the earlier up to zooropa stuff. Best tour for me zoo tour/zooropa

[@Daydream-Vinyl]

An excellent collection, very enjoyable, thanks for sharing.

[@NTXVinyl]

Thanks for watching Devan!

[@lrx6572]

Very cool collection!!! Update when possible!

[@NTXVinyl]

Thanks! Will do!

[@MsKalachakra]

Great to see all those rarities, special editions and their latest albums on vinyl cause my collection is pretty standard: All their albums on vinyl from Boy to Rattle and Hum plus all their albums on CD from Actung Baby to No line in the Horizon.

[@sholbech22]

good solid review of the album, 12" and RSD/Fanclub release...

[@JamesBeanDradfield]

I do have 90% of the records you've showed but then on Compact Disc. I bought most of the stuff at the time of release so - especially in the 90's and early 2000's - CD was the format of choice. And I don't see the point of having multiple copies of the same release so I'm not gonna buy a record of an album I already have on CD and vice versa. I rather spend my money on something new. My first U2 album was "The Joshua Tree" and I bought almost every album since (and ofcourse bought their first 4 albums that preceded "Joshua Tree"). I like the fact that U2 changes their musical style across their career. It never gets boring and it still sounds like U2. Just like Queen. Whenever you play people a not so well known Queen album track, they immediately recognize it as Queen. I've only saw U2 once during their Zooropa tour in The Netherlands (where I live).

[@roberthouston3809]

You are missing the best bootleg..."Zooeuropa" Dublin 1993!

[@mrsuperger5429]

Great collection. I collected U2 vinyl from around 1980- 83. I had all the early Irish singles, including a yellow vinyl of Out Of Control. I still have a copy of an American " live " album from the Paradise Theatre in Boston, USA back in 1981. It has Bugs Bunny on the record label. Also, U2 ROK was released as U2 Are Okay.

[@tunesidig]

Damn... your collection is awesome. You have every record and then some. Great job man!

[@NTXVinyl]

Thanks so much! Huge U2 fan 🙌

[@mrsticker2]

Under A Blood Red Sky is actually a collection of different live recordings. It's not just from Red Rocks. The version of "Bad" and "A Sort of Homecoming" on Wide Awake In America are live, but were recorded without an audience. They added the audience cheering into the mix later. U2 Treats U bootleg is cool because it captures their first visit to Australia/New Zealand and they are performing music from The Unforgettable Fire before it was released (see the other bootlegs from the same tour All Fall Down and Twilight). There's a collectible version of Achtung Baby with a naked Adam Clayton. The original 12" U2-3 (aka "Out Of Control") release was limited to 1000 hand numbered copies and probably go for a minimum of $3000.

[@ThorGHammer]

Nice collection! I too am a collector of U2 12 vinyl. One for the "collection" is the early somewhat rare (around 2000 copies) RSD release named "Wide Awake in Europe". It will cost you some $. Don't open it. Also if you put 4 Achtung Baby era singles together it forms a giant picture of the band in a trabant car.

[@NTXVinyl]

I hate that I missed that one! It was a tough buy even when originally released.

[@hypersphereengineering6015]

I've got the original U2-3 on 7 and 12 inch

[@lorentoy1994]

@NTXVinyl I'm surprised your collection did not include the 2017 RSD release of the Red Hill Mining Town picture disc. I would be curious to know if you have that one or not.

[@NTXVinyl]

I think I do. Got it after I shot this video I believe.

[@JoseLombardo]

Greetings from Venezuela

[@grayeagle1972]

nice collection. As far as 12", you aren't missing much. Wide Awake in Europe which includes the song Mercy. Blackout single? Also, something neat you can do with the 4 Achtung Baby singles is put them together like a puzzle and it's a large picture of the band in a trabant car.

[@NTXVinyl]

Right on! Don’t think I ever realized that about the Achtung singles

[@kyliemitchellharper6872]

Have you got the Australian edition of under a blood red sky on red vinyl ? Plus there is an Australian version of The unforgettable Fire/A sort of homecoming that has a spelling error on the original release ones!!

[@hypersphereengineering6015]

I've got the red vinyl Australian version

[@afrose71]

Cool collection. Does your copy of Under a Blood Red Sky contain the "Send in the Clowns" segment from "Electric Co." before it was edited out of later pressings? I have an old subway poster with that collage image from your picture disc.

[@hypersphereengineering6015]

I have Under A Blood Red Sky on Red vinyl and it has Send in the Clowns during Electric Co.

[@fredh1720]

I don't own every album, but I have heard them all, and I'm a huge fan. I have no time at all for Pop or October, but pretty much everything else they've ever done is great in my opinion. My (current) top 5: 5. Songs of Experience 4. Achtung Baby 3. The Joshua Tree 2. Zooropa 1. All That You Can't Leave Behind I did get the deluxe box set (cd version, because it was cheaper) for the ATYCLB 20th anniversary, and it's one of the best things I own.

[@NTXVinyl]

Great list…..but man, Pop has some fantastic songs. Not the singles, but tracks like Gone, Velvet Dress, and Please are some of my favs

[@ariakiss]

Missed another New Years Day 12”

[@moosic2i]

Not one mention of how all of these different pressings sound??

[@Zwakkie05]

I have a lot off cd’s and cd singles what u have on vinyl 😄👍🏻

[@MoLetalis]

Zoo TV tour was just under 2 years

[@showdown2006]

I did play that fan only live at the marque in London it just sounds like a decent bootleg recording. Some parts gets a bit too muffled loud.

[@showdown2006]

Which of these do u think sounds the best on vinyl?

[@NTXVinyl]

Oh man. There’s a lot of these that really do sound great. The 180gram Joshua Tree from the deluxe box set comes to mind, and my first UK pressing of Achtung Baby.

[@showdown2006]

@@NTXVinyl I think the best studio sounding record from this group is Achtung Baby on a hi-fi speaker system. Hope I find HTDAAB on LP though I am sure that would sound good.

[@Shane-by2lh]

If you need so help, wants lists, id be happy to help. I am from Dublin so maybe able to source some of these! Ive seen these on our Tower Records Ireland site, which is actually independently owned now. Best regards Shane. Ive just cut and pasted from their webpage That you didn't mention in your video. Here is some of the items they have in stock! Ohh youtube have edited my message, pain! WAR THE CONCERT BLUE VINYL [LP]

So nice of you! May take you up on that.

U2 fell off for me in the late 80's......friends in High School went to see them live, I recall not caring. Great, the early tunes....
