Absolutely! I'm a bit apprehensive about this being re-recorded and
released. Bono's vocal is rough as hell but so different from the other
Joshua Tree era songs. It is right up there with some of the best tracks
they ever recorded and was an unbelievable B-side. It seems that this song
has been the subject of a few rumours over the years. I remember hearing a
while back that Boyzone were going to cover it and just about had a heart
attack. Thankfully it never materialised.

What about the next single for the second Greatest Hits? Treasure (Whatever
Happened To Pete The Chop) could throw a few people!!!
