Updated in the Discography:
Albums listing.
Singles listing.
Promo listing.
Solo - Bono listing.
Solo - Edge listing.
Solo - Larry listing.
Other U2 Apperances listing.
Last week we also updated the By Songs pages, and the Soundtrack listing.
Things to complete this week:
- another update to Soundtracks - I missed "Bruno" sigh! I've been trying to forget it.
- another update to By Songs pages - "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" has a unique remix of Snakecharmer on it. Need to add in the Duels tracklisting.
Things to complete long term:
- Individual entry pages for the items now listed in above sections.
- List of "Non Album Tracks" for casual collector - strips out the remixes, edits, etc, and just focusses on non album tracks.
- List of "Live Tracks" for casual collector - which songs have been released in a live format.
- Videography song listing.
If you're looking through the discography please give me a shout with anything I've missed. I will be working on cleaning up things over the next few weeks. Time to bring this baby back up to date.

"Last Night a DJ Saved My Life" has a unique remix of Snakecharmer on it.
It drives me bonkers when people on this forum come up with this kind of stuff. >:(
At least it's only costing me $11 this time.

Haha, luckily I managed to quit the habit a while ago. At least it's a remix and not a version that's like 2 seconds shorter but otherwise the same.

and only 88 cents! Must have! Rivals the incomparable Drunk Chicken! More melodic than Queen Of No Heart! Underrated masterpiece with more bad press than Spiderman!

There's a new "EP" in the iTunes store as of late January called U2: Love Songs. I don't know if this is really considered a digital EP, or if it's just a playlist that iTunes put together (the URL would suggest the latter). But it does have fantastically horrible cover art.

It's "Duals." Though I think U2 Duels would be more interesting.

Oops. My bad. Maybe i was thinking of the current state of affairs between fan and fanclub over the releases lol.

So I think this is one of those tracks that we all love to hate...
An edit of Stone's Eggs from Undark One as part of a continuous mix - on the album Modern Mantra by DJ Spooky.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/modern-mantra/id155908594
Sounds like a straight-up edit to me and not a remix.

Well, Aaron, now I'm a bit confused by the whole Snake Charmer thing. I received the 'Last Night a DJ Saved My Life' CD and the booklet says that this version of Snake Charmer was an exclusive promo release.
However, it appears to be identical to Snake Charmer (Reprise) from the Snake Charmer EP, going by what I have in iTunes. Admittedly, I have the EP on vinyl but I got the MP3s from someone else. The running time is 6:54 which corresponds to what you have in the disco.
I also have 'The Sun Does Rise' EP on CD, and the version of Snake Charmer (Reprise) on there is a decidedly different mix. I guess I will have to pull out the vinyl to see which version of the track is actually on the Snake Charmer EP.
At the very least, I think we can safely say that this is the only CD release of this particular mix.
I also picked up Modern Mantra by DJ Spooky. The version of Stone's Eggs on there appears to be just an edit of the album version.
We're getting quite esoteric here, methinks.
-
Thanks Brad. I'm moving next week but the record player hasn't been packed away yet. If I get a chance I'll try to sort through this as well. At least I was correct and this is different than the Reprise version on the Sun Does Rise EP.
Don't you love when I cause us to work at this stuff?! LOL
-
Finally updated the Soundtrack page to include "Bruno" - in that movie Bono sings on the track "Dove of Peace" with Bruno (Sascha Baron Cohen), Chris Martin from Coldplay, Elton John, Slash from Guns n' Roses, Snoop Dogg, and Sting. * sigh * No soundtrack available, but it is included in the movie.

:::Heeeey, I've asked that!! I'm no casual collector :o
I telling Baja you told me that. ;D

For at least the past 6 months, whenever I clicked on this website in my Internet browser "favorite websites" list, it took me to some "updates" page (instead of the familiar main screen of the forum). All this time, I figured my computer link would return to me being directed to the familiar main screen of the forum. Well, I finally stopped waiting for the computer to adjust and found the main screen of the forum. So, it's been a while since I've been on here. I'm happy to see things are going good on the forum.
Does anybody know the titled of the upcoming U2 album? I can't find a thread about the upcoming U2 album. Does one exist? I would love to read some of you folks speculating about the content of the album. I was hoping to read info about whether the song "Winter" would be on the new album.
-
@ Columbiaeagle -- I've been told the new album is no longer being called "Songs of Ascent" as it nears release. That some of those songs may indeed be on this next album, but that the title and the concept has shifted somewhat. Other than that I have no idea.
@ Santiago2u -- I said it was 'for casual fans' not that you were, and not that it was suggested by one. :-) I'm working on that and a list of all the live tracks. Stay tuned for some articles for the front page on all of this. :-)

While we're on the issue (and I also just picked up this "Last Night a DJ..." CD so my wallet would like to say thanks oh so much, ha ha!), I notice the discography doesn't mention the only (to my knowledge) CD release of the original "Snakecharmer" track, Jah Wobble's 3-CD compilation "I Could Have Been a Contender" (as seen here: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=6772460). I'm so not a fan of this song and yet I've spent so much money on it ("The Sun Does Rise" EP, "I Could Have Been a Contender", "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life") and will shell out again if the other specious Jah Wobble/The Edge pairing, "Hold On to Your Dreams", ever comes to CD...*sigh*
-
Jah Wobble's 3-CD compilation "I Could Have Been a Contender"
I have that. ::)
Pretty sure it's the same version from Snake Charmer, but I really should pull all of these things out and verify.

Hold On To Your Dreams can be found on this cd by Various Artists:
"King Britt Presents Inspirations, Volume 1" released on 2000 by Dynamite Joint (DYNCD006).
it's a mixed cd but the song is present in its entirety, just the first seconds are mixed with the previous track, anyway are bits from the end of snake charmer... unfortunately it's a poor vinyl transfer, the quality is not the best...
you can buy it here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/King-Britt-Presents-Inspirations-Vol-1/dp/B00004UDUG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1299753406&sr=8-1
regarding the other the edge/wobble tracks, the UK Island IMA 1 vinyl has the exact same version of snake charmer from I Could Have Been A Contender cd, and snake charmer reprise from The Sun Does Rise cd
the USA Island 90151-1-B vinyl has the alternate versions of snake charmer and snake charmer reprise (this one is the same on the last night a dj saved my life cd)
-
Trevor -- Thank you so much.
So if I'm to understand all this:
Catalog Number: IMA-1
Snakecharmer (6:14) - also on "I Could Have Been A Contender"
Hold On To Your Dreams (8:38) - vinyl transfer on "King Britt Presents"
Snakecharmer (Reprise) (6:54) - also on "The Sun Does Rise"
Catalog Number: 90151-1-B
Snakcharmer (Alternate) (6:20)
Hold On To Your Dreams (8:38) - same as above?
Snakecharmer (Reprise - Alternate) (6:58) - also on "Last Night a DJ Saved My Life"
Further there was a promo vinyl single which featured an edit of Snakecharmer at 3:17 on both sides.
Does that sound right?!
-
it's correct!
hold on to your dreams is identical on both uk and usa vinyl...

I have the Canadian vinyl (also IMA-1) so i'll confirm what's on there this week hopefully. :-)

This is old news but I didn't see any listings in discography for these --
In 2007 Universal Netherlands reissued 5- U2 albums on 180g vinyl:
Boy - NL 5303038
War - NL 5303037
TUF - NL 5303036
JT - NL 5303041
AB - NL 5303039
There is nothing different in the album covers or in the music as far as I can tell although the 180g supposedly carries a bit of sonic improvement if you're into analog. My guess is Universal NL was doing their own thing until the U2 remastered project started up around that time so they stopped with these 5.

::: Man, back in 2007. those remastered collection it was a nightmare among u2 Collecting Sites. :P
My alter ego, ARAVEL in a very well known Vinyl Records Collector's Site, made a compilation of what was going through back in the day, as the news were arriving...too long to read: :-\
---so if you have like 4365543 hours to read, let me transport you in the time travel machine 4 years ago, pictures included and full detailed info: 8)

Russian mafia special printing? Extra special collectable :o
... interesting situation

::: ;)
Thing is, did ya see the pics? Obviously compare these to the actual Remastered Vinyl Records that were put on sale by Universal Music+Island+Mercury.
I remember in those days, that I had the chance to buy them, thinking that probably they would become a 'rare' episode for collectors but...we're 4 years after that and still look awful against those beautiful remasters we were offered by the Band.
I still haven't opened the 'TUF' album, since it didn't come on a reseleable polybag...it's sucha beautiful item *sigh* ::)
