U2 Reveals Five Versions of New Record

From Artist Direct ...

Now that they've announced a release date for their new studio record, No Line on the Horizon, U2 has unveiled not one but five formats for its March 3 release. Aside from standard CD and double LP pressings, the album will be available in three limited edition packages. According to Billboard.com, the digipak version costs $35.98 and includes a 36-page booklet, foldout poster and "a new (downloadable) film from Anton Corbijn featuring the music of U2"; the magazine version drops the CD in "a special 60-page soft cover magazine-style book" and also includes Corbijn's film as a special download; and the deluxe $96 boxed set tacks on a 60-page hardcover book, a second poster and the Corbijn project on DVD.

No clear tracklisting on U2's new one yet, but we do know that will.i.am contributed to a new cut called "Crazy Tonight."
