"Q" Exclusive U2 Cover

The Killers, Jack White, Nine Inch Nails, Snow Patrol, Patti Smith, Depeche Mode & more re-invent U2’s landmark album Q ’ the UK’s biggest selling monthly music magazine ’ is proud to announce a very special issue featuring an exclusive CD: AHK-TOONG BAY-BI COVERED ’ an interpretation of U2’s landmark album featuring a host of stellar artists.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Q presents the album as a commemoration of U2’s Achtung Baby, 20 this year. All of the tracks on the CD are brand new recordings made exclusively for Q.

Q Editor in Chief Paul Rees commented: “It is always Q’s intention to present a unique take on music. At a time when free CDs have become ten-a-penny, I strongly believe the Achtung Baby Covered album sets a new, and much higher, benchmark for the format. Not only in the sense that each of the tracks are brand new recordings by some of the biggest and most iconic names in music such as Jack White, Nine Inch Nails and Patti Smith, but also in that several of them mark the first new material we have heard from these acts in a long time ’ such as those by The Killers, Damien Rice and Garbage. This is an entirely appropriate way to mark Q’s anniversary and that of Achtung Baby, one of the pivotal albums in our lifetime.”

The magazine/cd package is a strictly limited edition and will only be available from www.qthemusic.com and in stores from the 25th October.
