Ohhh I didn't know UTEOTW premiered before The Fly, I thought the Win Wenders film went out around the same time as the AB album

Originally posted by Papo:The Wenders movie premiered in September 1991 in german cinemas; the soundtrack was released in December of that year, if I remember correctly it was held back because of U2, who had asked not to release it before Achtung Baby. But I am not sure about that, its just a faint memory.
The soundtrack album is great, by the way. U2, Nick Cave, REM, Lou Reed....on of the best OSTs I know.
The movie itself is rather "meh"...

They did do some work earlier on it, and some of the songs did originate during sessions for Rattle and Hum. They took some songs with them to Berlin to work on. Bono and Edge playing “She’s Gonna Blow Your House Down” was filmed in late 1987 at Jimmy Iovine’s house for instance. And “Wake Up Dead Man” had been around since “The Joshua Tree” as well as a title and a demo. And it was taken with them to Berlin…

Where did you get that information from? Not saying it’s wrong it’s just the only date I’ve seen in relation to UTEOTW’s origins is 1990.
Originally posted by melon51:I looked into this and I'm pretty sure that some of the tracks/ideas started in '88/'89. 'The instrumental 'Real Thing' that's on the salome bootlegs was recorded during the sessions of Desire. And during LoveTown soundchecks there was an early version of TTTYAATW and something that sounds like a mash between Until/UV. Wild Horses as an instrumental was also around before 1990 I think.
