A petition has been started for U2 to release a super deluxe edition of POP

https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/u2s-pop-super-deluxe-edition

Release a Super Deluxe Edition of U2’s POP

Fans of this album are a vocal group and we would love to hear the process and trajectory of Pop. We are asking that U2 give the proper care to this long neglected work of art and release a comprehensive retrospect of the demos, remixes, unreleased, and live tracks.

I'll sign the petition just for you, Phoenix.  ;)

Thanks!  I was hoping some here would take up the charge.  I haven't signed it yet because they wouldnt accept my username John Cocktolstoy

Listen over marching bands playing out their time.

Took a drive to visit my Mother over the weekend and for some reason realized i had not listened to POP in quite a while.  So i popped it into the car audio system and listened to the first half on the way from the big city to the smaller city 30 miles away.  On the way back from my visit i listened to the second half beginning with Gone and ending Wake up dead Man.

Its still the thrill ride its always been.  Funny how you can not listen to it for a few months and then in an instant its fresh and new again while quite familiar at the same time. 

20th century U2 really was something special.  like rainbows after the storm promising the earth no more flood unless he's producing the album,  or a falling star wont hurt you if it lands in your room while you're orbiting the moon. 

Chaos and curiosity exist in the same life force that asks the question "how does a soul know which body its supposed to inhabit"... was the soul created with a specific body in mind or does it just linger on until one becomes available? 

So many questions unanswered....yet we know that POP is music of the Divine....

This week I’ve been taking the bus and REALLY listening to this album again for the first time in years, not even realizing the anniversary. I remember when MTV was going to play the world premiere of Discotheque, and I stayed up all night to see it, while they played every U2 music video for hours. I taped it on VHS. Fuck I’m old. 

It’s typically been a middle tier album on my U2antheon, though I love and respect it highly. This week I was noticing little blips and riffs in the background I never remember hearing before. What they were doing at that time got me into a lot of other good music and art.

The last of the great reinventions that they used to do so well so long ago.
