Create a tracklisting that includes the outtakes

[edgeu22]

I'm trying to come up with the best tracklisting to incorporate the outtakes from HTDAAB on "The Complete U2" with the official HTDAAB tracks.

Here's what I have as of right now. Suggestions?

Vertigo
Miracle Drug
SYCMIOYO
Love and Peace or Else
City of Blinding Light
All Because of You
Xanax and Wine (don't much care for Fast Cars)
A Man and A Woman
Crumbs from Your Table
One Step Closer
Smile
Original of the Species
Yahweh
Are You Gonna Wait Forever? (don't really know where to put this one)
Mercy

 

[U2Soar]

1. Love And Peace
2. Because Of You (alternate version) (3:35)
3. Xanax And Wine (4:38)
4. Vertigo
5. Electrical Storm (Band version) (4:26)
6. Smile (3:16)
7. Mercy (6:31)
8. Miracle Drug
9. Blinding Lights
10. Flower Child (4:54)
11. Man And Woman
12. Crumbs (DVD edit alternate version) (4:01)
13. Native Son (3:08)
14. One Step Closer
15. Sometimes
16. Original
17. Yahweh (Alternate version)

Are You Gonna Wait Forever is an ATYCLB Sessions track.

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Are You Gonna Wait Forever is an ATYCLB Sessions track.

Is that official or just speculation? It sounds to me like the music might have been recorded during that time period, but then again it's got the sound and feel of HTDAAB. The vocal is definitely a recent (2003-04) vocal.

 

[U2Soar]

Hi Reggie - It was produced by Lanois & Eno and mixed by Richard Rainey = ATYCLB Sessions. Neon Lights is Rainey too = ATYCLB too. Big Girls Are Best is POP Sessions song.

P.S. Apple liner notes has Edge stating that Flower Child is an Atomic Bomb Sessions track but the track listing says ATYCLB.

* I left off Fast Cars/Xanax & Wine coz I don't think it fits (and I'm not that fond of either)
* I like Native Son better than Vertigo and having both is silly
* I wish Levitate fitted, but it doesn't suit this album (or ATYCLB)
* Unfortunately, I can't stand Neon Lights

The Wanderer

I agree with you completly! The inclusion of Smile and Mercy would have made this album a masterpiece and their best to date (minus a Man and a Woman of course )
