oh and we do not get any DVD singles.  Doesn't seem that there are going to be any NTSC releases this time around either.

A report on the Collect-U2 list has the Argentinian Vertigo DVD being NTSC (not that it'll be easy to find).  Also, I believe the Japanese version is slated to be released; that ought to be NTSC, too.

Someone can feel free to correct me.

In any case, though, your point still generally stands.  DVD singles are never cheap enough, and we always have to check format, region coding, etc.  Argh!

Did you happen to see the report on U2log?  They have the b-sides for SYCMIOYO and yes... another DVD single I will probably never see  The Trent Reznor remix of Vertigo sounds... well... interesting.

I still think that, given the importance of the USA market to U2's total sales, the USA gets the shaft on most of this stuff.  What did we do wrong guys?  Don't we deserve the same treatment as the rest of the world?

EDIT: Oh, and sorry to get so far off the point of this original post.  All my rumblings will go in another post from now on.

Concerning the 6:31 studio version of Mercy, today is the first time I have ever heard it.  Today is April 28, 2014 and it looks like everyone else knew about it since 2004.  I am 10 years late!!!  Anyways, I love the 6:31 studio version.  I love it better than the live version officially released on the Wide Awake In Europe 12-inch vinyl release.

I am listening to the 6:31 studio version on YouTube.  It was posted on YouTube by QUIQUEU2

I wish I could have an MP3 of this, but I guess that's not possible.  Oh well.

Go to http://www.youtube-mp3.org and paste in the url for the video and you'll get a mp3 (128 kbs) for the song.  If you want a higher bit rate someone (I don't have it) who has it will have to share it with you.

Wow, for some strange reason I don't remember this studio version either. Thanks for the tip, Dagobah!

Thanks for the tip, Dagobah!

Now if there was only a FLAC version?

The original rip was 128 kbps WMA, from a CD sourced from a cassette tape.

Really.
