Well the first one was fun (and my slow monday has turned into a slow week) so here's another:

Answers pertain to U2's officially released discography, not videography.

1. Name the only known planned singles to have been cancelled.
2. How many versions of UTEOTW have been officially released?
3. Name the songs that are ONLY available as remixes
4. Since their professional recording career begin in 1979 with U2: 3, there has only been one year where U2 has not released anything new (studio, remix or live). What year was it?

2. There was the album, UTEOTW soundtrack, and the live Greenpeace version.

6. Sort of homecoming was recorded live at a soundcheck but wasn't really in front of an audience.

3. Holy Joe, Happiness is a Warm Gun, I'm Not Your Baby, and Pop Muzik

There is a "proper" version of I'm Not Your Baby on the End of Violence soundtrack.

I think the answer to No. 4 is either 86 or 94, I think HMTMKMKM was released in 95 or 96.

No. 8 maybe Red Rocks, its the only concert i can think to be given a cassette release.

I also think the Bonus Question is Clannard: In a Lifetime 86, I don't think there were any collaborations before 86.

Funny isn't it how you often think you know loads about U2 and then a thread like this comes along and you realise you're not all that knowledgable after all.

I've been thinking about it, the answer to No. 8 is the Point Depot New Years Eve Show in 89, U2 released a special cassette cover in Q magazine that fans could cut out and make as a sleeve for their tape. Like an official bootleg.
