BOTH RECORDS  BRAND NEW, NEVER PLAYED.

The record has not been removed from the sleeve.

PLEASE READ: This limited pressing included many jackets that had creases, and minor or tiny damage. .  I have only average eyesight, and believe the jackets to be in Very Good to almost excellent condition, with some minor imperfections on the jacket, and some minor dents, but due to these errors by the original manufacturer, I can't promise it will be perfect, but 99% of all U2 fans will be happy with this, as long as the cover is in decent condition, and the records have never been removed from the jacket, and in this case, it has never been played or opened.

THIS IS A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO GET #1947, and 1948...TWO COPIES!!!!

I bought several copies in the first week of release. I paid around $90 EACH plus shipping for these,  This LP is hardly ever available for under $100 now, and still sells for over $100 in auctions on ebay. Auction starts below my actual purchase price. INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: PLEASE UNDERSTAND, EBAY SETS THE COSTS FOR SHIPPING OUTSIDE OF THE USA, SO PLEASE ONLY BID IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PAY WHATEVER IT COSTS TO SHIP TO YOUR COUNTRY!!!!

The live versions of "Mercy," and "Moment of Surrender" are not available on CD.

"Mercy" is not available on any other U2 release or any other media.

If only 5,000 of these were made, why are there numbers well past 6,000?

This explanation was given from a link from U2.com:

"During the manufacturing process, some jackets get damaged during the numbering process. These jackets are destroyed, but we do not go back and re-set the numbering machine for each damaged jacket. We simply run numbers past 5,000. If we didn’t do this, we would end up with much less than 5,000 total units."  My opinion is that most of the jackets made for this release had at least minor damage. It is not easy to see, but it is there on most of them. As a huge record collector, I have seen over 100 of these U2 records, most just have tiny creases or tiny tears.

Side A features the never before released song "Mercy", recorded in Brussels on 9/22/10. Side B features "I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight", recorded in Dublin on 7/27/09, and a live version of "Moment Of Surrender", recorded in Paris on 9/18/10. The live version of “Crazy” was previously released on the 2009 U2.com member-exclusive remix album "Artificial Horizon."
