U2--Achtung Baby

U2's 1991 classic Achtung Baby will be reissued in a variety of formats starting Monday in celebration of the cd's 20th anniversary. The Super Deluxe and Uber Deluxe versions will feature the Achtung Baby documentary, From The Sky Down. Watch the trailer for the film below and read an interview with the film's director Davis Guggenheim here.



From The Sky
Down premiered on Showtime last night, and is currently available for on demand viewing through November 26th. You can also visit Showtime's official site to find out when you'll be able to watch it again (multiple dates have been scheduled over the next couple of weeks.)

Earlier this week Q Magazine released their own Achtung Baby tribute, Ahk-toong BAY-bi Covered, featuring covers from Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, Jack White, The Killers and more. The compilation was only released in the U.K. but U2 is now selling a limited number of copies on their website. You can also listen to all of the covers here.
