The Complete U2 is a digital box set by Irish rock band U2. It was released on 23 November 2004 by Apple Inc. on the iTunes Store.[1]
It is the first major release of a purely digital online box set by any recording artist.[1] It contained the complete set of U2 albums, singles, live, rare and previously unreleased material from 1978 to 2004, with a total of 446 songs. This was accompanied by a PDF containing album art, track listings, and band commentary.[2]
In the US it originally retailed for $149.99, but a $50 coupon was included with the U2 Special Edition iPods from the fourth-generation iPod. The video-capable U2 iPods included a code for a 33-minute video of live band performances and interviews. As of 20 December 2007, the set is no longer available for sale.[3]
