Topic starter
 

When I was a young 'un, I quite liked U2 and collected everything I could get my hands on. Now, I have a bunch of old magazines and books (mostly from North America) containing interviews with the band, retrospectives, and photos, along with some newspaper clippings. All of what I have is used, in that I kept the stuff precisely because I was interested in looking at it. In other words, none of the stuff is in 'collector comic book' condition.

Do collectors like this sort of thing? Or now that I am preparing to get rid of it, should it just go in the bin?

find a wide open space, place all of the said items in the center. now retire to a good vantage point and carefully enjoy your new Barrett .50?

Flog it on fleabay but to save costs do it on a free listings day. You will be surprised by what will sell but bands like U2, Kiss etc etc are very very collectable. I sold a Kiss programme from a 1980's concerts and it went for nearly £50! I was going bin it! You just never ever know.

Ignore them^, early U2 were an exciting band playing great rock music. I'm sure there are collectors out there who would be interested; not the 'collectors' just looking for the investment, but real fans with an interest in the history of the band could well be up for it. Best suggestion would be U2 forums or fan 'sites.
I'll stand up for Drowning Man or New Year's Day as amazingly good music, as is much of their first three or four albums, up to Blood Red Sky, anyway.
