(Gibson) U2 are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 1991 gem Achtung Baby with five different remastered re-releases, some of which include concert footage, a new documentary and even a replica of Bono's sunglasses. But, during a press conference at the Toronto International Film Festival, the band's famous frontman also revealed that a tribute album to Achtung Baby was also in the works.According to Bono (via Stereogum), the tribute record was commissioned by Q magazine. Among the contributors: Jack White (doing "Love is Blindness"), Depeche Mode (doing "So Cruel"), Patti Smith (doing "Until the End of the World") and Damien Rice (doing "One"). There's no word yet on which artists have lined up to fill out the rest of the album – so it's anyone's guess who's tackling "The Fly" and "Even Better than the Real Thing." more on this story
