Newly re-mastered, this special anniversary edition of 'Achtung Baby' includes a 24-page colour booklet.

After 'Rattle and Hum', U2 went away to "dream it all up again". 'Achtung Baby' was widely regarded as a sonic and visual reinvention of the band: a step too far in some territories, where Adam's nude image on the sleeve was covered with an appropriately fixed X or clover.

The album peaked at No.2 on the US album chart and at No.1 on the UK album chart. It was certified multi-platinum by the RIAA with 8 million units sold. In Switzerland, 'Achtung Baby' reached No.3 on the album charts and stayed in the charts for a total of 19 weeks and was certified Gold. In Australia, 'Achtung Baby' was certified 5 times platinum by the ARIA.

U2 won the Grammy for "Best Rock Album by a Duo or Group" while Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno won "Producers of the Year" for 'Achtung Baby'. Additionally, the album was nominated for "Album of the Year". In the Rolling Stone annual reader's poll, it came No. 1 for "Best Album" and "Best Album Cover".

Produced by Daniel Lanois with Brian Eno mainly at Hansa Ton Studios, Berlin, Dog Town, S.T.S., and Windmill Lane, Dublin. Engineered and Mixed by Flood with "Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses" and "Even Better Than The Real Thing" mixed by Steve Lillywhite.
