OTHER NOTES |
This collection was released on
November 3, 1998. This was a limited version of The Best
of 1980 - 1990. This version was available for order for
one week only, before being replaced with a single disc.
It was the one disc version which was available for years, until
2002 when the double CD set was re-released in many countries.
Due to elevated prices on domestic CDs, and
the fact that it is often cheaper to buy imports, an additional
bonus track was added in Japan to make the domestic version more
attractive. For this compilation, the bonus track is
"One Tree Hill", and it was added to the end of the
first disc of the set.
Several differences have been noted between
the tracks on this compilation and the various versions that had
been released prior. If there isn't a mix name listed
above the version is the same as the album version. Below
are some notes on the differences between tracks:
Bad: This is an edit of the version
found on The Unforgettable Fire. This version drops several
"Whooo hooo hoos" found in the original version.
Where the Streets Have No Name: This is an edit of the
5:37 version found on the Joshua Tree album. This is not the
same as the version found on the single which is 4:46 in length
and features additional backing vocals by the Edge.
When Love Comes to Town: This version of the song
features an extra guitar lick you can hear at about 4:12 in the
Best Of version. This takes the total time of the track on
this release to 4:17 from 4:15 which it was on Rattle and Hum.
The Three Sunrises: This version is a little longer than
the version found on the Unforgettable Fire single, and appears
to be due to a slightly longer fade-in to the song.
Bass Trap: This is a large edit of the version on the
Unforgettable Fire single which was (5:13) in length.
Hallelujah Here She Comes: This is an edit of the version
found on the Desire single which was (4:12) in length.
A Room at the Heartbreak Hotel: Yet another edit. The
original from the Angel of Harlem single was (5:30) and ended
with more "hallelujah's".
October was actually a hidden track at the end
of the album. After All I Want is You ends, there is a
period of blank space and then October starts as part of the
same track. October is not listed on the back tracklist of the
CD.
