OTHER NOTES
In 2004 Apple's iTunes store released a "Digital Box Set" of U2 Recordings entitled The Complete U2. The set was made available only through the iTunes music store for download. Included within the set were several rare recordings grouped as albums. These "Digital Albums" were accompanied by new artwork designed by Four5One, the creative design firm which has done most of U2's albums throughout the years. These cover images were released in an accompanying "PDF" file along with information about the full set of songs in the "Digital Box Set". It is not known at this time if Apple plans on releasing these "Digital Albums" separate from the box set - at this time they are only available when one purchases The Complete U2. The tracks could be downloaded in Apple's AAC format for compressed music.
The Unreleased & Rare album features several tracks that have never appeared on any other commercial U2 release. From the All That You Can't Leave Behind recording sessions we get the tracks "Levitate", "Flower Child" and "Love You Like Mad". From the How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb sessions we get the tracks "Smile", "Xanax and Wine", "Native Son" and alternate versions of "All Because of You", "Yahweh" and "Sometimes You Can't Make it On Your Own". From The Joshua Tree sessions we get the track "Beautiful Ghost / Introduction to Songs of Experience". The other songs appearing in this set have appeared on other recordings, and can be found in our By Songs section.
Several of these songs would eventually become other songs on releases. "Xanax and Wine" became "Fast Cars", and "Native Son" became "Vertigo" upon further work. Other songs have recognizable parts as well. The song "Beautiful Ghost" is an early instrumental track from 1987 which Bono reads William Blake's "Introduction to Songs of Experience" over top of.

Of course. You need to leave an email address for official material. Or if you don't want to mine is mofo.rockandroll@gmail.com
Live from Boston 1981, Live From The Point Depot and Early Demos are pretty easy to get as well which are part of the extra stuff you get with this set. If you don't have it, it is highly recommended (I ordered an actual DVD off eBay with it all on with my iPod) and it is the best damn investment I have ever made.
Originally posted by drewhigginsProbably not worth sending the others because the iTunes Store only ever had them in 128Kbps anyway which is what Boston and Lovetown were - so not worth it. The Early Demos I only ever had in 128Kbps as well and they will never sound any better.
All music except for the new store (which I have never bought from them and don't plan to) is encoded at 128Kbps and the new lot is more expensive at $1.30 a song for 256Kbps.
The rest is sent to you. Hope it went through.
I didn't think they would be any better because the bootleg versions of the them Originally posted by drewhigginsI don't think you should have to pay extra for a bunch of demos. If I find any more stuff expect your inbox to have something in it!
By the way the Joshua Tree outtakes you uploaded are awesome!
