Posted by Bill Rippel on October 28, 2020 - 1:38am

Year: 1984
Record Label: Festival Records
Worth Today: $9,000*

Irish superstars U2 have made an absolute fortune from their body of work. Back in the ‘80s, they were busy recording “Pride (In The Name of Love).” While usual copies of the record are everywhere, it’s the Australian presses that are incredibly rare and noteworthy. 

The lead single of the album, “Pride,” was written about civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr. At the time, it received mixed critical reviews, but it has gone on to be one of the band’s most well-known, popular songs. “Pride” has been on countless compilations since the band’s early days.

There are said to be only 50 copies of the translucent vinyl ever made, but a large portion of those no longer exist. We can’t be sure exactly how many copies remain, but when they do surface they can sell for around $9,000. Bono won’t be buying it though – he’s not a massive fan of the song. 

Simon Keighley Wow, Pride (In The Name Of Love) was released in 1984 - I remember buying this album - shame it wasn't the Australian version - nice share,Bill - awesome album.
