Two More "Love is Bigger" Remixes: https://soundcloud.com/dirty_disco_music/sets/u2-love-is-bigger-dirty-disco

Looks like the "Dirty Disco" remixes will be dropping soon, with two remixes now being shared on their Soundcloud account. "Dirty Disco Mainroom Remix" is 5:22 and "Dirty Disco Sunrise Remix" is 7:42.

Good, good.  They've had that playlist up for a couple of weeks but it's been empty (to the public, anyhow), even just a few hours ago.

Interesting that they say "web preview" but it's the full track in both cases.

Just give me a double vinyl promo of the best of this already.

It didn't make it on to New Zealand's iTunes until like 1:30 AM or something.  Shame on them

Based on the 90-second preview, it sounds a lot more like an alternate mix than a remix.  Kind of like The Funk Hunters Remix, but more rocky and less hippity-hoppity.

Aaron, I am interpreting this correctly by understanding that another commercial release is coming next Saturday?  Or is it just another batch to DJs?  Or are you not aware?

[Aaron]

Issue date is the date of the issue of Billboard that the chart will be in.  

Updating the page now with Friday's mixes...

Added in the six additional remixes shipped to promo on Friday into the discography entry for the promotional release:

http://www.u2songs.com/discography/u2_love_is_bigger_than_anything_in_its_way_promotional_relase

These six were shipped on top of the Beck Remix on Friday, but only the Beck Remix went to commercial sites.

I've also updated the site with lyrics for the Daybreakers Vox Mix, the full lyrics for the Twisted Dee Remix, and a few other odds and ends.

Although the Brian Cua and Offer Nissim remixes have been leaked by the dj - these haven't  yet been released for promotion officially. We will add these only when things are released. That being said I'm told the promotional campaign will step into high gear this month.  Whatever that means...

Because having close to 20 remixes out there, along with an acoustic version, three videos, an appearance on Ellen, and a livestream from Third Man Records all in one month is considered keeping the single on the down-low...

I count 28 versions now, not including video edits. The Third Man recording will make 29. I think that may be the most "official" versions available of any U2 track?

That's assuming that all of these eventually get some sort of commercial or promo release.

Apologies to all the hip young djs who have reinvented this song, but Beck's old skool remix is the only one getting repeat listens from me. It's fantastic.

So I bought the U2 vs. Cheat Codes video from iTunes and it's 1080p.

Anyone know when iTunes started selling music videos in HD? The Blackout is 480p, but Best Thing is also 1080p, so it must have been fairly recently?
