Number #916
I have copy number # 916 of the first edition. I would love to have that same number in the reissue. It will be difficult but I will try

Why?!?
Why release it for record day? U2-Three is like the Holy Grail for U2 fans who want to collect music from their favourite band. Such a shame to limit our chances of purchasing. Should be available in the U2.com store. Hate to be negative, but search for it the day after and watch how much people will be charging for it.

E&I dvd/blu ray
Great all these vinyl treatments, but what about some official commercial digital releases. Where is the E&I blu-ray announcement tot example? It looks like the whole musicworld is releasing lots material (Stones, Springsteen, Depeche Mode, Simple Minds and even REM) except u2....

It's called Record STORE Day....
....the clue is in the name! There’s no point appealing to U2.com to save copies for subscribers or release digital versions, that totally defeats the purpose of RSD. We already receive plenty of great stuff from U2.com so don’t expect everything on a plate, go to the stores and hunt for it. If you want it badly enough you’ll get it. Good luck.

Digital Issue
I applaud encouraging people to buy vinyl, but as someone who doesn't have a record player, I feel I am missing out on lots of rare material only issued on vinyl over the last few years. Wouldn't if be fairer if U2 issued on vinyl initially then waited 6month to a year then issued it digitally?

I hope to find one copy

Larry we need your help..............
Dear Bono, Larry, Adam and The Edge and U2.com These special record store day / black friday releases by U2 should be made available to their true fans. So by offering a selection to U2.com members makes it fair. Record Store Day and Black Friday events are great for independent record stores but the flip side of that is that the true fans miss out on their favourite releases. I have been to quite a few of these record store day events and the first 20 people at the front of the queue are record traders that buy the most sort-after releases and then 20 minutes later put them on eBay at double, treble the retail price. If i was to queue at my local record store i would have to set my alarm at 4am, join the queue and still not be guaranteed a copy of this release! I have participated in these events twice now and on both occasions the U2 release has sold out. So i appeal to you guys at U2.com......please help and hold a selection of these records back so that true fans of U2 can purchase a copy. Larry we need you.............if you are reading this.......please help........it makes sense...........you guys are the band we love. These records and your music means so much to us. These special records should be made available to true fans!!!!!!!
