1. it might be an unreleased alternate version. the lyrics are different at 1:44
    tell me
  2. I don't think that this is U2. Must be some kind of cover/tribute, whatever...

    So, to answer your question: No, it's not an official U2 release.
  3. Yep...doesn't sound like Bono.
  4. These were the only Discotheque mixes that are officially in existence, if you're interested. Hope it answers your question - but maybe not.

    * Discothèque (12" Version) (5:08)
    * Discothèque (Album Version) (5:19)
    * Holy Joe (Garage Mix) (4:21)
    * Holy Joe (Guilty Mix) (5:08)
    * Discothèque (DM Deep Club Mix) (7:00)
    * Discothèque (Howie B Hairy B Mix) (7:39)
    * Discothèque (Hexidecimal Mix) (7:21)
    * Discothèque (DM TEC Radio Mix) (3:45)
    * Discothèque (DM Deep Instrumental Mix) (6:58)
    * Discothèque (DM Deep Extended Club Mix) (10:04)
    * Discothèque (David Holmes Mix) (6:14)
    * Discothèque (DM Deep Beats Mix) (3:59)
    * Discothèque (Radio Edit) (4:34)
    * Discothèque (Mexico City) (5:16)

    And the cover versions - I couldn't get the times for these.

    * Discotheque - Drag
    * Discotheque - Exit ^
    * Discotheque - Intra-Venus
    * Discotheque - IRA ^^^
    * Discotheque - Studio 99 ^^

    ^ Exit is an unknown German male vocalist, not the well-known female tribute band.
    ^^ The Studio 99 version is really boring and not worth getting.
    ^^^ The IRA this mix refers to is not the IRA but the Irish Rock Association.
  5. Then this version (‘Mike Hedges Mix’) could perhaps be a new one as claimed in the info underneath? (unless, of course, it’s the exact same mix as on the Best Of):
  6. Yes it's the "New mix" from Best of.
    On Spotify it's even called "Mike Hedges Mix"
  7. I am almost sure that the version that premiered on German radio in 1997 was different than the album version released a few weeks later. Im remember noticing the differences back then - but I certainly could be wrong. Maybe it was just the Intro being cut and a slightly different mix.

    Probably the 'Single Mix', with a very different intro to the album version? I remember that one getting quite a lot of airplay in February '97. https://youtu.be/71IoLo8Pi9E
