Original Of The Species [acoustic] on Starbucks CD
« on: November 26, 2012, 05:35:53 PM »
I don't remember if you guys discussed the Starbucks CD titled:
every mother counts 2012
I bought it for $14 at a Starbucks coffee shop in May 2012.  I bought it to get an Eddie Vedder track titled Skipping (which is track 2 of the 19 tracks).  When I looked at the tracklisting on the CD case, I was surprised to see several other tracks by musicians I enjoy.  Here is the info for the U2 track:

Track 1 is listed as:
Bono and the Edge - Original Of The Species (acoustic)
When I place the CD into my computer, the track length shows as 4:03 on the iTunes screen.
On the back of the CD case, below the tracklisting, it says the tracks that have an asterisk are exclusive new recordings.  Track 1 => Bono and the Edge - Original Of The Species (acoustic) has an asterisk.

I don't see this acoustic version of Original Of The Species in the Wanderer discography.  I searched by song.  Were you guys aware of this release?

If anyone wants a download of this U2 track, let me know.  If you do, you will have to explain (step-by-step) how to send it because I haven't memorized the procedure yet.

We tweeted about it on twitter.  Those are streamed to the front page of the site, but are sometimes quickly gone.

You can view our twitter feed here: https://twitter.com/u2w/ - you do not have to sign up to twitter to follow us.  You just need to check out that link. It would have shown on the front page at u2wanderer.org at the time.  I cannot find a forum topic about it here or on the blog however...sorry for anyone who hadn't seen it.

Wow, slaneman.  Impressive!  I must have read that forum topic . . . . and forgotten.  Thanks for the feedback!
