U2 to Reissue 'Achtung Baby' and 'Zooropa' in a 'Super-Duper Box Set'

At one point in their career, U2 took their cues from punk. They had it all: the hair, the leather and the bad-boy image, but as the years passed, their sound began to mellow and, whether you like it or not, their popularity began to soar.

Marking the near-20th anniversary of 1991's 'Achtung Baby,' U2 are gearing up to reissue the iconic album alongside '93's 'Zooropa' in one boxed set, and as Consequence of Sound points out the band's manager Paul McGuiness has an idea of what to charge for it:

"There will be multiple formats. If you pile a lot of extra material and packaging and design work into a super-duper box set, there are people who will pay quite a lot for it, so you can budget it at a very high level and pump up the value," McGuiness states in the upcoming July issue of Rolling Stone Magazine (via @U2 Fansite).

The reissue is set for a fall release and will feature extra audio and video content from the band's ZOO TV era. Rolling Stone also reports that the band is working on an iPad app. Between the Spider-Man musical and the "biggest tour ever," U2 sure are upfront about their desire to rake in the moolah.
