In anticipation of the upcoming 20th anniversary re-release (and gargantuan money sink opportunities) of U2's Achtung Baby!, Q Magazine (UK) is issuing their December issue with a bundled CD of covers of every track by big name stars. You can find a couple of them now for listening online -- Damien Rice doing One, Garbage doing Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses, and Jack White doing Love Is Blindness. The full covers album will be available October 25, but the CD will (reportedly) only be bundled with UK shipments of the magazine. Order a single copy here if you live in the appropriate areas of the globe, or find it at your local newsstand. (Those outside the UK will have to find alternate methods of obtaining the tracks). Also currently-available Achtung Baby! madness -- From The Sky Down, the film festival circuit documentary about the recording of the album which is part of some of the higher priced anniversary sets, and which will be making its Showtime premiere on October 29. In 6 parts: 1 2 3 4 5 6. Bonus: An apparent leak of a new U2 track from earlier this year: Light Speed. Whether this will ever actually appear in any form on an upcoming album remains to be seen.
