OTHER NOTES |
This album by U2 was set for release on November 22 / 23,
2004 but as has become commonplace, the album "leaked" on the internet
weeks earlier on November 6, 2004. Originally during the recording sessions
a demo CD with six possible tracks from the album was stolen, and the band
claimed that they would release the album through Apple's iTunes music
service if they appeared online early. But when the leak did come it was
from a full version of the album, not this earlier stolen CD.
The album was released in four different formats. The first format
was a vinyl release for the UK market. The other three releases are
all variations on the CD release of the album. The album was released
as a CD by itself, released in a double jewel case with a DVD, and also
released as a collectors edition, which included a hard bound book with
text and images by the band. I have yet to find information about
a cassette release, which would make this the first U2 album not released
in that format.
Further variations are seen in the album releases by the inclusion of
a bonus track, "Fast Cars". This track is available on the UK and
Japan releases in all three CD formats. It is also available worldwide
in the limited edition box set.
The first single released from the album was Vertigo
released commercially on November 8 / 9, 2004. |

in the sale of the domestic CD U2 has contributed a bonus track to the
