OTHER NOTES |
U2's fourth album was a live recording, Under a Blood Red
Sky. Although generally referred to as U2 Live from "Red Rocks", this audio
CD is not entirely made up of tracks from the Denver Red Rocks show.
Instead, only "Gloria" and "Party Girl" were recorded at that show, and
most of the tracks were recorded in St. Goarshausen, West Germany and were
taken from a concert broadcast on German TV. The misnomer comes from
the Under a Blood Red Sky video which was indeed shot at the Denver show
at the Red Rocks ampitheatre.
There are two very different versions of this recording. During
"The Electric Co." Bono included a snippet from the song "Send in the Clowns"
and the recording was released without paying proper royalties for this
track. Legal action was taken, and U2 ended up paying for the use
of that 30 second snippet of the song. Thus later editions of the
recording had the "Send in the Clowns" snippet edited out of the recording.
Somehow as we moved into the CD era, CDs were pressed with both versions
of the song - including the snippet and not including the snippet.
There have been other differences in the editing of other tracks as well,
but these are minor compared to the 30 second edit during "The Electric
Co."
Some of these other minor edits are cataloged below. I would love
to hear of other variations, or where your CD fits in below:

Both the USA and Canada versions of Party Girl are missing the "one
more" at the start of the Australian version. On the Canadian version,
this
line of Bono's is included at the end of I Will Follow. The track
lengths included in the track listing above are how they are listed on
the back of my CD. One immediately notices that none of these match
up with any of the above versions. Many of the other differences
in track times are where the "live" recording of crowd noise between tracks
has been split. |

Further Information: |
The blue vinyl released in Australia was printed for a few
record company execs and was done in very limited quantities. Reports
of 5 copies have been made. The red vinyl was much more common, and
can still be found on a frequent basis. A black vinyl copy was also
pressed. Mexico pressing LA574 was unique in the packaging.
The covers were reversed. |
