Why are you always on the defensive?
U2 knows how to pamper their fans with these kinds of re-releases, I don't understand why it can be a problem to relaunch Crush in a big way and remind the world that it doesn't just have Slippery When Wet.
However, if Jon is planning to release a box set and is generous with the content, he would have no problem if he does not re-release his albums with unreleased material.

I didn't say I had a problem with them re-releasing crush, I was disagreeing with your assessment that because they did it for Appetite, it'd work for Crush.
It doesnt....have to be just Slippery but you live in a fantasy land where just because you/we want it to be done, it's criminal that they're not. If you want an honest answer of why it's not, compare the two albums. Both were hit albums, but Crush's was off the backs of the band back together and a massive single in It's My Life. Past that, nothing resonated. Say It Isn't So made zero impact, Thank You For Loving me was a minor hit in some regions.
ATYCLB had Beautiful Day, Stuck in a Moment You Can't Get Out Of, Elevation, Walk On. All at varying levels of airplay and "hit song" but literally 4 times the amount of successful singles Crush had. I'm not being defensive, I'm giving you my opinion on why Crush ain't getting a re-release.
