New old U2 song being released on the Killing Bono soundtrack

[Popmartijn]

Just saw this piece of news: <i>Killing Bono</i> soundtrack set for release at the end of March

The Killing Bono OST includes the exclusive and previously unreleased 'Street Mission' by The Hype (U2’s first incarnation).

That will be the first official release on CD for that song (it was released as part of The Complete U2 digital boxset on iTunes in 2004).

BTW, also Hot Press needs to hire a new person for proofreading:

It also features the U2 classic 'I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For,' from 1982’s The Joshua Tree.

The Joshua Tree was 29 years ago?!?!? I'm getting old...

I wonder if it'll be the same version

Man I hope that it'll be a remastered version of Street Misssions. Good energetic song.

Bad news: not U2 - it's a cover.

"The album also includes an exclusive and previously unreleased track entitled Street Mission, written by U2’s first incarnation, The Hype, and performed on the Killing Bono OST by Martin McCann (who plays Bono) and the band portraying The Hype in the film."

ah... kinda disappointing. hopefully they include a remaster of the u2/hype verison as well.

Except that The Joshua Tree was released in 1987, not 1982.

Except that The Joshua Tree was released in 1987, not 1982.

You would think that Hot Press would know that.
