Continuing to pare down my collection of various rarities - some cool stuff here that other collectors should appreciate... For sale here is a very rare limited edition live 3 CD set from U2 called Eight 5 7 9 Baby on the KissTheStone label, catalog #s KTS027, 028, and 029. According to the artwork this is from 3 different shows, one from 1985, one from 1987, and one from 1989. Each CD comes inside its own jewelcase, all stored inside an outer slipcase, and is a very nice collector's piece. It also comes with a folded up poster that is stored inside the slipcase with the CDs. I bought this brand new at a record collector show back in the 1980's/1990's, where collector CDs like these were pretty common. These kind of releases went for $20 per disc (I paid $60 for this, and spent way too much money back then collecting these sorts of things!). It is a regular silver pressed CD with front/back case artwork. The disc is NOT a CDR.Condition-wise the discs are all in mint condition with no scuffs orscratches. All of the artwork is in excellent condition, including the outer slipcase and the folded poster (I have never unfolded the poster so I can't say exactly how big it is). The jewelcases have slight scuffs from just rubbing up against each other in the slipcase.According to the artwork this was a 3000 copy limited edition set. I don' t see any specific numbering on my copy..This has been well looked after in my smokefree home and won't stink like an ashtray.Below are the tracks according to the artwork.
