OTHER NOTES
The version of Desire which appears on the single releases is the same as the album version with the exception that the sound bite featuring Adam Clayton on the album is removed before the song begins.

Desire has never appeared on any live audio compilations.  It has, however, been a staple of live shows throughout the decade that followed its release. A longer version of the Hollywood remix, labelled simply Desire (9:23) appears on the 12" vinyl one-sided promo of Desire.
