The collection, titled AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered, includes covers of songs from Achtung Baby by Jack White, Nine Inch Nails, Patti Smith, Depeche Mode, the Killers, and more. Check out the full tracklist below.

It will be available as a standard CD, a "Deluxe" 2xCD with bonus tracks and B-sides, a 4xLP vinyl box set containing two LPs of remixes, the giant "Super Deluxe" box set containing six CDs (Achtung Baby, Zooropa, bonus tracks/B-sides, two CDs of remixes, and Kindergarten - The Alternative Achtung Baby) and four DVDs (the documentary From the Sky Down, a music video collection, a collection of bonus material, and ZooTV Live From Sydney), and the gargantuan "Uber Deluxe" package, containing everything from the "Super Deluxe" set plus vinyl singles, art prints, a magazine, four badges, stickers, and a pair of Bono's "The Fly" sunglasses.

Gonna have to respectfully disagree with you on this one friend. Jack White's cover of U2's Love is Blindness is absurdly fantastic. Let me listen to it for a few months to see if it loses anything. But right now, in the throes of my hyperbolic glee, I'm ready to call it one of the best covers I've heard in a long fucking time.

Thank you! My last post reads like I'm drunk. Which I'm not. I guess that's how fucking good Jack's cover is. Jack White's cover is so good it makes me post drunkenly.

Without having heard the original (or having heard it and forgotten all about it), I like Jack White's cover.
I like the original a lot. It's very Spanish/Gypsy. At least to me. It treads the line between beautiful and cheesy really well. I like Jack's because it's aggressive and I detect zero cheesy. But it's still melodic and dark, and there's still that grinding guitar (though Jack allows his to wail a lot more, which I appreciate).
