Recorded over six months at Hansa Studio in Berlin and Windmill Lane in Dublin, Achtung Baby is U2's seventh studio album. Produced by long time U2 collaborators, Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno with Steve Lillywhite, Achtung Baby was engineered by Flood and released on 18th November 1991. Led by "The Fly", four other singles followed: "Mysterious Ways", "One", "Even Better Than The Real Thing" and "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses."
Bono described Achtung Baby as "the sound of four men chopping down The Joshua Tree" while Jon Pareles of the New York Times wrote that "stripped-down and defying its old formulas, U2 has given itself a fighting chance for the 1990's". The album won a Grammy Award for "Best Rock Performance" and became one of the most significant records of the nineties and of U2's career.
Now, Island Records, Interscope and UMe release the 30th Anniversary Edition edition of Achtung Baby, featuring the 2018 remaster of the original album alongside 3 bonus discs: the Uber Remixes, the Unter Remixes, and B-sides, featuring 22 tracks never before available digitally!
