ALTRE
NOTE (UFFICIOSE):
Miss Sarajevo:
Una versione di 4 minuti e 30 sec. piuttosto accorciata rispetto
all’originale, sia della versione del singolo (5:19) che di
quella dell’album "Passengers:…". (5:41). Si
tratta in effetti della "radio edit" precedentemente
pubblicata solo nel singolo "promo" di Miss Sarajevo Mysterious Ways: Qui addirittura si nota una piccola
variante nel testo rispetto all’originale. Infatti a 1:35
dall’inizio della canzone, il verso 'She's the wave, she
turns the tide, she sees the man inside the child' è stato
cambiato in 'She's the wave, she'll turn the tide, and no
question, she knows why.' Visto che questo pezzo non è stato
rifatto ma solo rimasterizzato dai nastri originali, come tutti i
brani di questo best of, è da supporre che in fase di
rimasterizzazione si sia usata una registrazione diversa della
parte di cantato di Bono rispetto a quella utilizzata nel periodo
di "Achtung Baby".
