u2songs | U2 Record Store Day Rumours: 2018 |

We are told by a reliable well connected source that U2 will be producing a 12-inch vinyl record for Record Store Day this year. It will be a single and we are told that “Lights of Home” is likely to be the featured song. We do not have any information on the exact track list, or the quantities that will be pressed at this time.

 

[Catman]

Pleeeaaaase be true

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

This would be the first wise decision they've made in a while.

 

[DeVaul]

Who's running the check-in line for the vinyl purchase?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Amp

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Not to pour cold water over this rumor, but unless they filmed a new video over the last month, we're about 10 or so days away from being bombarded with American Soul basketball commercials

Interesting.

This would be the first wise decision they've made in a while.

Every time they release something from this album that isn't Red Flag Day, it's a mistake. Lights of Home is nowhere near as strong or accessible.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Counter point: It is.

 

[Axver]

Of course they'd release a song that's actually a worthwhile single as a limited edition RSD thing.

 

[Hollow Island]

Smart move if it's the version with strings, a fool's decision if not. The regular version sounds unfinished.

 

[Catman]

Normally I'm a sucker for strings, but I actually kinda prefer the album version.

I have no idea where you're getting an "unfinished" sound from

 

[wolbersu2]

Great song, especially the BBC-version is absolutely fabulous.

It's about time to hear some fresh news. I don't mean news about vinyl reissues without extra material. Album is almost out of all the charts.

 

[LadySpinHead]

Agreed

 

[Hollow Island]

it's more like a lack of sound.

[YBORCITY]

Do all of you guys mind that for the zillionth time today - I'm so psyched the boys are coming back to CT... 45 minute drive to arena - now that's living.....

 

[YBORCITY]

So I talked to an old school buddy of mine who used to head security at this casino and I asked him why would an act like U2 play such a small arena and he said it doesn't have to do with ticket sales. Every year they allocate a large amount of money to get a big act in, he said they've done it in the past with Bruce, Prince, Coldplay.... They pay the band an exorbitant amount of money with the idea this will bring in more gamblers into the casino AND (I didn't think of this) possibly bring them back in future tours. Very interesting indeed....

That makes sense. It's like a loss leader...don't care about breaking even on ticket revenue because we'll get their gambling $. Know how to make money in a casino? Own one.

Side A is the strings remix
Side B is a new remix by Beck

 

[prbiker15]

It looks as if Side A will have both the original version and the string version.

Side B is a new remix by Beck

Ooooooooooooooooooh.

Confirmed by the 2

 

[Roland of Gilead]

Hopefully, they make this as plentiful as the regular Blackout RSD and I hope Beck did something worthwhile here.
