U2’s discography is stacked with outstanding albums that span four decades and the group recently announced their plans to commemorate one of their more iconic albums turning thirty this year.

Achtung Baby is getting a thirtieth-anniversary re-release on special standard and deluxe vinyl for those record-heads on November 19th, one day after the album was released in 1991.

However, there’s even more in store for those who wait until December 3rd when the massive 50-track digital boxset releases with 22 remixes of songs like “Mysterious Ways” and “One” as well as 16 B-Sides and other things that haven’t been available digitally before.

Achtung Baby was the follow-up to their 1988 album Rattle and Hum and was seen as the group’s reinvention to a more modern sound. Those changes turned out to be the right things to change with the album selling 18 million copies and won a Grammy Award in 1993 for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
