Bono Sunglasses Included in Bumper 'Achtung Baby' U2 Reissue

 U2 fans will be able to pick up a pair of replica Bono sunglasses as the band prepares to celebrate the 20th anniversary of 'Achtung Baby.'

They unleashed the album in 1991 and to celebrate the upcoming 20-year milestone, they're rereleasing it in a number of different formats later this year.

But it is a bumper box-set edition that is whetting most appetites. As Rolling Stone reports, included in the 'Uber Deluxe Edition' are a pair of replica sunglasses, modeled on Bono's famed eyewear, as well as a mammoth collection of U2 goodies including six CDs, four DVDs and an 84-page hardback book.

Also included in the numbered release are five 7-inch singles, 16 prints from the album art, a fan-club magazine, badges and stickers.

'Achtung Baby' will also be re-released in a vinyl box set and, for those with perhaps a budget in mind, a standard CD too -- remastered, of course.

The Irishmen, who regularly top rich lists, were recently given the news that their 360° tour was certified the highest-grossing music tour ever. As previously reported by Spinner, it racked up a modest $736,137,344 (£452,051,545) and played to over seven million fans over a period of 26 months up until July 2011.
