OTHER NOTES |
Released in the Fall of 2000, All That You Can't Leave Behind
was heralded by the critics as U2's third great masterpiece after The Joshua
Tree and Achtung Baby. The album was released at the end of October
in the midst of a strong promotional campaign which saw U2 making stops
at several radio and TV appearances. The album was released in mp3
format on the internet two weeks prior to the actual release of the album.
These mp3s were taken from a promotional copy of the CD circulated by Island
Records.
In Japan, Australia and the UK, CD prices for domestic CDs are much
more expensive than the price of imports from other countries. In
an attempt to get buyers to buy CDs made in their own countries, The Ground
Beneath Her Feet was pressed onto the CD as the last track of the CD.
In the US consumers also had a choice of which copy to buy the night of
release, one with a "Summer Rain" bonus disc, or one with an "Always" bonus
disc. Interscope was not releasing singles in the US, so this was the only
commercially available source for these songs at that time in the US.
After the album had been released for a few months, Interscope made
another push by releasing the album with a third bonus disc, this time
the bonus disc was "Big Girls Are Best". This is the harder of the
three double releases to find as it was a limited promotion.
All That You Can't Believe spawned the Elevation tour, which started
in Florida in March 2001 and finished back there in December of 2001.
The tour was one of the most successful tours of the year, and also produced
two live DVDs, something previously unheard of from U2. After struggling
with critics throughout the PopMart tour and beyond, U2 was back, and at
the top of their game. |
