I am looking for two posters which were part of a late 80's print collection, cleverly titled "The U.2. Print Collection." They are out of print now.

The collection was black & white, and had the album covers of War, UF, and Joshua Tree (landscape-oriented) captioned with the album titles. They also had two portrait-oriented posters: one with Larry and snow-covered trees in the background with the caption "Ice, Your Only Rivers Run Cold", and another with Bono posing with an American flag with the caption "Outside It's America".

I'm looking for the two portrait ones, "Ice, Your Only Rivers Run Cold" and "Outside It's America" (have the other 3 already).


If anybody has these and would be willing to sell, I will pay top dollar, or would be willing to trade for some other old U2 posters that I own. Wanted these for a long time.

Also, if anybody is aware of other posters that go along with this set, let me know! I've only ever heard of those 5 posters, but it seems logical that they would have done a portrait-oriented one with some lyrics from War as well, since they did portrait-oriented ones for UF and Joshua... but I've never heard of one like that.

Thanks in advance!

Not the answer you want, but I have both of these - framed. I doubt I'd sell them.

I think I've got the other thee as well (two at least - and framed as well).

I've not seen a portrait "War" one either - so probably never was one.

Bummer. I definitely don't blame you for not selling- I wouldn't. If you change your mind, you have a willing buyer!

Would you be willing to send me pictures of them at least? It would be nice to have photos so I can show others/other forums what they look like to assist in my search.

I'll be in NZ in July, so will be able to take some photos then. Remind me if you like.

Just came across this blog:

It's dated 2009, but he says he stayed in a beachhouse with the said pictures, worth a try emailing him?
