A host of famous artists/bands, including Nine Inch Nails, Garbage and Depeche Mode, have re-created U2’s «Achtung Baby» album in celebration of its 20th anniversary. It features brand new recorded cover versions of all 12 songs in original order (in fact - one track will be remix, not cover). Release entitled «AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered» also marks 25th anniversary of UK music magazine Q - as free exclusive bonus for December issue.

Q Editor in Chief Paul Rees said about «AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered»: «Not only in the sense that each of the tracks are brand new recordings by some of the biggest and most iconic names in music such as Jack White, Nine Inch Nails and Patti Smith, but also in that several of them mark the first new material we have heard from these acts in a long time – such as those by The Killers, Damien Rice and Garbage. This is an entirely appropriate way to mark Q's anniversary and that of Achtung Baby, one of the pivotal albums in our lifetime.»
 
The unique Q magazine and free CD package (Issue Q305) is allready available in stores from October 26th, 2011 (bad - in UK only).
