Here it is!!! Anyone know why they left the last 9 years of U2's music
of the album?

We're one, but we're not the same...

"U2 THE BEST OF 1980 - 1990
The first decade of U2's extraordinary history is celebrated with the
worldwide release by Island Records of U2's The Best of 1980-1990 on
Monday
the 2nd of November.
For the first week the 14-track album will only be available as a
limited
edition double-CD pack, with a bonus CD featuring 15 of U2's B-sides
from
the eighties. This limited edition will retail at a special low price.
The regular edition of 'U2' The Best of 1980-1990' - without the B-sides
bonus Cd - is in the shops on Monday 9 November.
As a prelude to the album, Island also release a new U2 single called
'Sweetest Thing' on Monday 19 October. 'Sweetest Thing' was originally
intended to be on The Joshua Tree' album, but was not finished in time.
An
incomplete version subsequently appeared as a B-side to 'Where the
Streets
Have No Name'. The band recently returned to the studio with producer
Steve Lillywhite and finished the track.
The full track listing of 'U2 The Best Of 1980-1990 is:Pride
New Year's Day
With or Without You
I Still Haven't found
Sunday Bloody SundayBad
Where The Streets Have No Name
I Will Follow
The Unforgettable Fire

Says Marc Marot, Managing Director of Island UK: This is something we've
wanted to release for a long time. We're enoumousely proud of the band
and
our long association with them, so this album really is a celebratory
moment. I believe it also reveals the extraordinary strengths of U2's
music, with each track still sounding as fresh and powerful as the day
they
were originally recorded."
