Five Formats For New U2 Album

12/22/08 2:08pm

U2's No Line On The Horizon will be available in five different physical formats on March 3.

The Irish band's 12th studio album will come on CD and as a double vinyl LP. But if you're a bigger fan, you might be interested in the three more expansive and expensive versions.

The digi-pack version will come in a cardboard folded sleeve with a 36-page booklet, a fold-out poster and a download of a U2 film by Control director Anton Corbijn.

The next step up is the magazine version of No Line On The Horizon, which comes in a CD enclosed in a 60-page soft cover magazine with the downloadable Corbijn film.

High rollers and diehard U2 fans may prefer the top of the line box set, which includes the CD, a 60-page hard cover book, a second poster and the Corbijn film on DVD.

Those pricks don't seem to have any plans for an eight-track release.

No Line On The Horizon will include "Magnificent," "Stand Up," "Winter," "Breathe," "Every Breaking Wave" and "Crazy Tonight," according to Billboard.com, which also reports that "Crazy Tonight" includes an unspecified contribution from The Black Eyed Peas' Will.I.Am. Perhaps Kanye West wasn't crazy after all.
