One of the greatest things about a new U2 release is that it makes Christmas shopping so much easier, and this year there’s a ton of gifts tied in to their new release How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb.

Most significant is The Complete U2, the music industry’s first digital box set, which offers 400-plus tracks (all U2 albums and more than 25 rare and unreleased songs), available as a download exclusively at iTunes for $149. This has to be one of the bargains of the year if you don’t already have their back collection.

“Vertigo,” the chart-topping single from Bomb, is available only through iTunes or on limited-edition vinyl. Bomb now comes in three configurations: CD, a CD/DVD set with a documentary that includes interviews and studio performances of three of the albums songs, and as a deluxe limited-edition box containing the CD, DVD and a book with text, photos and illustrations by the band. 

For the really hardcore fans, the U.K.-only vinyl release and the Japanese or Australian version includes an extra tune, “Fast Cars.”

The U2 iPod, the band’s signature $349 black-and-red autograph-engraved model, holds up to 5,000 songs and comes with a poster and a $50 coupon toward purchase of the Complete box set.

U2 Show: The Art of Touring, by Diana Scrimgeour (Riverhead Books, $35), is an authorized photographic archive of the band’s stage odyssey, from early Dublin pub dates and the breakthrough Unforgettable Fire tour to the dazzling ZooTV and PopMart stadium spectacles of the 1990s and the transcendent Elevation production.
