| OTHER NOTES |
| This album by U2 was set for release
on November 22 / 23, 2004 but as has become commonplace, the
album "leaked" on the internet weeks earlier on
November 6, 2004. Originally during the recording sessions a
demo CD with six possible tracks from the album was stolen, and
the band claimed that they would release the album through
Apple's iTunes music service if they appeared online early. But
when the leak did come it was from a full version of the album,
not this earlier stolen CD.
The album was released in four different
formats. The first format was a vinyl release for the UK
market. The other three releases are all variations on the
CD release of the album. The album was released as a CD by
itself, released in a double jewel case with a DVD, and also
released as a collectors edition, which included a hard bound
book with text and images by the band. I have yet to find
information about a cassette release, which would make this the
first U2 album not released in that format.
Further variations are seen in the album
releases by the inclusion of a bonus track, "Fast Cars".
This track is available on the UK and Japan releases in all
three CD formats. It is also available worldwide in the
limited edition box set.
The first single released from the album was
Vertigo released commercially on November 8 / 9, 2004.
