i just got the exclusive U2 7 CD from Target and it is worth the $6.99 that i paid. This CD is only sold at Target (hence, the "exclusive" tag).
(besides the cool tracks, the CD cover has a great shot of the band-----and Bono's not the one with the shades in the pic!)

Track Listing:

1) Summer Rain
2) Always
3) Big Girls Are Best
4) Beautiful Day (Quincey and Sonance Remix)
5) Elevation (Influx Remix)
6) Walk On (Single Version)
7) Stuck in a Moment (acoustic)

Has anyone else listened to this CD?

I think the vast majority of us have heard it and/or own it or have downloaded it.

I have a copy...it's what I listened to in my car this morning.

Walk On alone gives you your money back.
 
I listened to it last night.

What is the history behind the first three tracks? Have been previously realeased? Played live? etc....
 
As previously stated in other forums, I am a posting nightmare.

The first three tracks are B-sides from ATYCLB singles. "Always" is really a working version of BD.

I have bought seven copies so far and sent them to out-of-USA interferencers. Tis a great lil' disc.

I've been listening to it in the car too! My 23 month old son sings "Ya Ya Ya" with Bono during "Big Girls Are Best".

I love the lyrics in "Always"!

I love Summer Rain. I think that should have gone on ATYCLB. When I made a copy of the ATYCLB for my car I had Summer Rain replace Wild Honey.

Thank God for the 5-point harness car seat. I really think she could hit the car ceiling during this song if she wasn't strapped in.

try singing Beautiful Day when playing "Always"... it's a blast! i noticed the same chord progressions when i first heard the CD without knowing it was a working version of the song.......... the chorus was so obvious! my love (who was in the car with me) found it rather funny too.... maybe cause i was singing the chorus to her.... :)
 
Elevation (Influx Remix) rocks!!! It brings back that magical moment during the Elevation shows when the band starts coming out on stage.

I've bought extra copies of this to send to peeps in Europe.
