 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.
