U2, the only band to have had an official iPod model made in its honor, has dropped the DRM from its music catalog for the first time. All 19 of the band’s full-length releases (including some special editions with bonus tracks) are now available on the Rhapsody MP3 store for $10 a piece, or $20 for double-length releases that contain bonus tracks.
Rhapsody began selling 256 Kbps, DRM-free MP3s in late June on the same day the company announced partnerships with iLike, MTV and Yahoo. This also represents a new development for U2, whose manager Paul McGuinness has been a vocal supporter of the movement to kick file sharers off of the internet if they are suspected of infringement for a third time (the British appear to have adopted a slightly more lenient policy).
McGuinness also said Radiohead’s name-your-price sale backfired). However, the band’s take on the music industry appears to be quite different, with Bono contradicting his manager by coming out in support of Radiohead’s “courageous and innovative” model.
U2 has sold 170 million albums during their long career and was the focus of the impressive concert film U23D earlier this year.
On the 20th anniversary of the release of the Joshua tree, U2’s manger Paul McGuinness talks to Phantom 105.2’s John Caddell about the album that is widely regarded as one of the best rock albums of all time. Hear what really happened when the video for Streets was closed down plus plans for further U2 album reissues. Phantom 105.2 is available on FM in Dublin, DAB digital radio and online at www.phantom.ie
- Paul discusses the future releases of U2’s earlier works at about the 28 minute mark. He states that ALL the early releases will be remastered, with additional bonus material.
In celebration of the 10th anniversary of the POP album & POPmart we are featuring yet another POPmart concert:
U2 in Sarajevo: reconciliation for a few hours
SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina - What politicians and diplomats have failed to do for years, rock music
might well accomplish Tuesday: end the division of Bosnia, at least for a few hours.
Fans from all over the bitterly divided country flocked to Sarajevo to hear the Irish rock band U2 in concert -
the biggest spectacle the city has seen since the 1984 Winter Olympics.
The concert in the Kosevo Olympic stadium - rebuilt last year after suffering heavy damage during the 3-year
war - has, in its own way, accomplished miracles. About 45,000 people were expected to pack the stadium
for Tuesday night’s concert, which fulfills a pledge made by U2’s lead singer Bono when he spent the first
postwar New Year’s Eve with Sarajevans in December 1995, weeks after the war ended.
