Rock n' Roll Doggie ALL ACCESS
Can they please put a DTS Master of the movie on a Blu-ray?
purple oscar, what is the audio specs for the Blu Ray?
That's right. This was totally lost in the CD era (let alone the mp3 era). In retrospect, they probably shouldn't have planned the tracklisting to suit a 4-side vinyl album, which was already pretty old by late 1988.Looking at the record version of Rattle & Hum it is much more artitically congruent than CD copies. Each side on the record makes "sense".
Then for the second CD just put on ALL the live songs from the film. Call the studio disc "Rattle & Sun" and the live one "Outside It's America".
That is a good idea Nick. That could be the deluxe version and have the single remastered version as a standalone.

Well, actually they were, but they weren't quite the standard media yet. (Apparently there were 400 million CDs pressed in 1988 alone.)When the album was new, you could either buy the LP or cassette. CDs weren't around yet.

The first CD to be manufactured at the new factory was The Visitors (1981) by ABBA.[14] The first album to be released on CD was Billy Joel's 52nd Street, that reached the market alongside Sony's CD player CDP-101 on October 1, 1982 in Japan.[15] Early the following year on March 2, 1983 CD players and discs (16 titles from CBS Records) were released in the United States and other markets. This event is often seen as the "Big Bang" of the digital audio revolution. The new audio disc was enthusiastically received, especially in the early-adopting classical music and audiophile communities and its handling quality received particular praise. As the price of players gradually came down, the CD began to gain popularity in the larger popular and rock music markets. The first artist to sell a million copies on CD was Dire Straits, with its 1985 album Brothers in Arms.[16] The first major artist to have his entire catalogue converted to CD was David Bowie, whose 15 studio albums were made available by RCA Records in February 1985, along with four Greatest Hits albums.[17] In 1988, 400 million CDs were manufactured by 50 pressing plants around the world.[18]
I didn't think She's a Mystery was part of the R&H sessions, though I know it was recorded around that time or shortly thereafter.
As documented in the R&H outtakes, She's a Mystery and Can't Help Falling were demoed in the same Sun Studios sessions that gave us Angel of Harlem, Love Comes to Town and Love Rescue Me, as well as Jesus Christ. Desire was cut at STS in Dublin, as was (I'm guessing) Hallelujah and Heartbreak Hotel, since those three tracks all share Paul Barrett as the credited producer (though Hallelujah and Heartbreak Hotel weren't finished until Los Angeles later in 1988). Van Diemen's Land was recorded at The Point Dublin in early '88. Hawkmoon and God Part II weren't recorded until the summer of 1988 in Los Angeles, and Heartland had its initial recording roots in the early Joshua Tree sessions in '86. So the notion of formal "R&H sessions" is a bit of a misnomer, since the sessions seemed to take place wherever they could.
Well there's no doubt She's a Mystery To Me is from the R&H sessions. It was first soundchecked somewhere in 1987 during the JT-tour. It was propperly recorded In The Sun Studio's with a lot of the other R&H songs. (like Nathan1977 explains). They also recorded Can't Help Falling in Love. Both versions remain unreleased but the recordings were filmed for the R&H movie, those movie outtakes give us some audio from these recording sessions.
Besides that I always understood that Slow Dancing wasn't from the R&H sessions (it was first played around 1989) and My Wild Irish Rose was from 1989 as well. It was used in a 1990 BBC documentary.
Heartland was first tried for The Unforgettable Fire, and again in 1987 for JT. The Version used on R&H was produced buh Eno/Lanois so it's fair to assume it got almost finished around 1987. It's basically a JT song in the version that was released.
It's even possible that the B-side Fortunate Son (from '92s Who's Gonna Ride.. CDS) was from the sessions in which R&H b-sides like Dancing Barefoot were recorded. I posted this promo item from that era a while back: http://www.u2interference.com/forums/f189/dancing-barefoot-fortunate-son-89-promo-tape-211980.html

A couple of real old soul classics with Maria may or may not see the light of day depending on how they seem when we've worked on them.
