OTHER NOTES: |
City of Blinding Lights was released as the fourth single
from How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, but was
only the third world wide single release. All
Because of You was only released in Canada commercially by the time
this release came out. The single in a suprising move, goes back
to a 1992 concert for Greenpeace that U2 participated in for the live tracks
featured as B-Sides. These were definitely not expected. These
tracks would later show up on the
Zoo TV Live from
Sydney DVD release which was probably being worked on at this time.
Once again a DVD single was released to accompany the audio releases.
This time the DVD featured video footage of U2 performing "City of Blinding
Lights" from their 2004 concert at the Brooklyn Bridge. It also features
the finished video clip for the previous single "Sometimes You Can't Make
it On Your Own".
As part of the promotion for this single, a cardboard wallet was made
available by mail to residents of the UK who had previously registered
with Island Records. These were sent out by mail and were not available
in other regions. Shipped flat, they could be folded into a box which
would hold the two CDs and the DVD released in the UK. The front
of the wallet and the back
of the wallet both feature similar artwork to the single. |
