U2 - Songs of Experience Island Records/Interscope/Universal Music Group 5797705 Released December 2017.  As this has "#00438" on the back of the box, this is a quite early edition of a set that may have numbered as high as 50,000 in total.  Record quality is excellent here since this came early in the life of the stampers where it was produced.
This is a Czech pressing from GZ Vinyl, that is kind of an "ultimate edition" to own!  The album includes: a double LP pressing on cyan vinyl with three bonus tracks, lyrics, and gatefold jacket; a CD digipak with four bonus tracks (one not featured on the vinyl) plus two lyric booklets (one cyan and one black; ?!); download code; full "newspaper" edition of the lyrics and Bono's surreal essay about the album; and a bonus double-sided poster featuring the band on one side (same picture as the inside of the LP gatefold) and the Edge's daughter in black dress and Army helmet on the reverse.
Although receiving mixed reviews, this album includes a good amalgam of new material, especially on "Love is All We Have," "Red Flag Day," and "The Blackout" (the last two of which have a somewhat "Achtung Baby/Zooropa" feel to their style).
Records NM, as I've played these exactly twice since acquiring this set.  The LPs come with polylined innersleeves directly around them, plus extra cyan-coloured cardboard inners that can be placed around the records as well if desired. Jacket around the LPs VG++, due to some seam splitting along the top that happened during shipment (unfortunately, this seems to happen frequently with these kinds of sets). The CD and its accoutrements, the exclusive "newspaper" and poster inserts, and the box around the set are all still impeccably NM.   The download code has never been used and will be yours to dispense with as desired since I don't own an MP3 player.  (I'm a Luddite, after all.)
Shipping costs $4.92 via Media Mail.  Immediate payment will be required if you use Buy It Now.  Postal insurance may be requested if desired, and this set will be well packed with bubble material and extra cardboard to get it to you safely.  Happy buying!
