| OTHER NOTES |
| Released at the same time as If
God Will Send His Angels, MOFO marked the 6th track released
from Pop as a single. This
was a record for U2, who's previous record was five singles
released from Achtung
Baby in the early 90s. Similar to Discotheque,
the MOFO single was made up mainly of mixes of the title track,
the sole exception being a remix of If God Will Send His Angels.
MOFO was a powerful song live which opened each Popmart concert.
A live version, recorded in Mexico in 1997, appeared on the Hasta
La Vista Baby live CD released to fan club members only.
The remix of If God Will Send His Angels has
been a source of confusion to many. It has been labelled as the
"Grand Jury Mix" and also as the "Big Yam
Mix" - both of these mixes are the same track, and indeed
if you read the credits for the Grand Jury Mix you will see that
it was remixed and produced by Gerald Baillergeau, also known as
"Big Yam". This is likely the source of some of this
confusion in the track title.
