Originally posted by anstratdubh1979Red Hill Mining Town was to be the second single from The Joshua Tree. This, per my conversation with Steve Averill in 2003 - when he as at the R&R Hall of Fame.
The artwork was to be the picture of Bono that was later used for "In God's Country" (and "One Tree Hill" in Australia and New Zealand).
The story goes that Kirty Macoll (sp?), Steve Lillywhite's then wife, LOVED "I Still Haven't Found..." and between her and a few other 'insiders', convinced U2 to release "I Still Haven't Found..." as single # 2.
Also, Bono was finding it hard to sing Red Hill... during the tour rehearsals.
Both of these ended Red Hill... from being a single.
As their video budget was used for Red Hill, that is why I Still Haven't Found... was the low budget, yet highly effect, video that it is.

Originally posted by yeahPretty nice song. Also the black and white scenes in the video are great. But the band/colour scenes are so corny that I could hardly watch the full video.
At the end of the day, the holy grail is just a plastic cup...
Agreed. Larry clearly deserves an Academy Award for his emotional performance. Originally posted by AllBecauseOfU2[..]

Another little known fact is that it was Kirsty MacColl who chose the running order for JT. Her system ? Simply put her favourite track 1st and worked down to her least favourite.
