Releases Add comments


Irish rockers U2 are set to release another "Best Of" album next month, according to their official website.

The as-yet untitled disc will be released on November 21 in North America and will incorporate 16 of the band’s best-known songs. The compilation will also feature the band’s charity collaboration with Green Day, "The Saints are Coming," as well as one brand new song.

Both tracks were recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London last month with heavyweight nob turner Rick Rubin.

"The Saints are Coming," a cover of Scottish punk band The Skids’ original recording, will be released as a digital download on October 30 and as a CD single and 7-inch on November 6.

Proceeds from the release of "The Saints Are Coming" will go to Music Rising, an initiative co-founded by U2 guitarist The Edge which helps musicians who lost their instruments during Hurricane Katrina.

U2 have two other compilations to their credit, 1998’s "The Best of 1980-1990," and 2002’s "The Best of 1990-2000."

The group are also in the early stages of recording the follow-up to 2004’s "How to Dismantle and Atomic Bomb," which is expected to be released sometime next year.
