[ultraviolet92]

hmm interesting they forgot street missions
cant wait for this

 

[david]

Maybe Street Missions is Saturday Night

 

[Rachel D.]

I actually haven't heard most of the songs on the second disk.

 

[david]

hrmmm was 'speed of life' also 'lost on a silent planet'?

 

[bonocomet]

No Speed of Life is a different song from Life On a Distant Planet (The Magic Carpet)

 

[veber]

It will be hilarious if "Saturday Night" is a Bay City Rollers cover. I think they used to play it.

 

[bonocomet]

that's right!

 

[martha]

God that would be so great!

 

[pepokiss]

Damn U2 and their money-stealing things...

 

[bono_212]

If Street Mission isn't on here it will be a travesty

 

[Popmartijn]

That looks like an interesting tracklist for the second disc. It includes the U2:Three, Another Day and 11 O'Clock Tick Tock singles (including the B-sides). Also the B-sides of the A Day Without Me and I Will Follow singles (Things To Make And Do and Boy/Girl live) are there.
The previously (officially) unreleased tracks are:
- I Will Follow (previously unreleased mix)
- Speed Of Life
- Saturday Night
- 11 O'Clock Tick Tock (Live at The Marquee, London)
- Cartoon World (Live at The National Stadium, Dublin)

And yes, some of their studio demo's are missing, including Street Missions. So if this tracklist is true, it's a very good set, but it won't be complete.
Still...

 

[Axver]

Maybe Street Missions is Saturday Night

Since they've already released Street Mission as Street Mission in the iTunes Complete U2 thing, somehow I don't think it has suddenly become Saturday Night.

I hope this rumoured tracklist isn't true, because if it is, it's pretty weak and insubstantial, really. There are at least 15-20 unreleased pre-Boy songs, and it would be a travesty if Lost On A Silent Planet and The Dream Is Over are not on there. Especially if they've gone to the effort of remastering the dreadful Twilight demo! The Dream Is Over was recorded as Another Day's b-side and replaced at a later stage by Twilight in quite possibly the most baffling decision in U2 history. False Prophet and Lost On A Silent Planet come from the same session as that early version of Twilight and are markedly superior.

I'm still excited about this, don't get me wrong. But this tracklist, if true, barely scrapes the surface of what's there and could be used. I can understand why they wouldn't want to use the very earliest demos from April 1978, as things like Tonight and Inside Out are terrible, but the February 1979 demos and The Dream Is Over deserve a release, and it'd be nice to officially have the November 1978 demos (Street Mission, The Fool, SATT demo) in CD quality rather than MP3.

The first was given here: U2Anothertimeanotherplace - U2 Another time, another place: like a song

 

[Blue Room]

If Street Mission isn't on here it will be a travesty

I know, because if its not on the disc you suddenly will never be able to listen to it ever again.

The track list is about what I would expect. I'm looking forward to remastering of the early singles and B sides. I hope the October disc has A Celebration on it remastered. If so, then the early tracks I like are pretty much covered.

 

[gareth brown]

hey, really good tracklist if it's real but how come they're not putting them in chronological order like the B-sides were on The Joshua Tree? Wouldn't mind hearing Street Mission on there too since Beautiful Ghost ended up on The Joshua Tree after being released on the iTunes set.

Perhaps they spread out some of the material for the "October" second disk. I can't imagine there was a lot of extra material for those frayed sessions.

 

[DrTeeth]

I will buy this! Yes, yes I will.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

Especially if they've gone to the effort of remastering the dreadful Twilight demo!

you mean you don't want to hear TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT

 

[Bono's shades]

I don't think I've ever heard Cartoon World before.

 

[GibsonGirl]

It's about time they remastered this! I'm looking forward to it.

 

[gweeps]

False Prophet? WTF?

 

[PoisonStream]

I see the remastered version is going to have that crappy "stretched faces" cover to appease us sensitive Americans.

Edit: The UK version, too:

Because it bears repeating:

indeed. i just hope that's a mistake or something because if not, wow...i can't believe they'd do something so incredibly lame.

I tsk to denote sarcasm. But I will miss the song not being on there.


I feel like a remastered special edition should include the ORIGINAL cover, but oh well.

 

[martha]

. I hope the October disc has A Celebration on it remastered.

I would actually buy it then.

I'm awfully partial to that cover. I've loved for a few decades now.

 

[Bug]

you mean you don't want to hear TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT TWILIGHT

Oh god, my brain.

 

[U2girl]

Bring on Rattle and Hum and AB.

This is why the version that appeared on "Boy" is masterful, because if you ever heard this version of 'Twilight' you knew anything had to be better than that version...
