I recently acquired (under dubious circumstances) an original U2 double
radio promo album. I have been thinking about putting the album, either
individual songs or the whole thing on the web, or sharing it with the rest
of you wonderful U2 fans. I won't bother unless it seems like this is
something other people don't have, and would like a copy.
About the album:
It is all live albums promoting the Joshua Tree; the date on the album is
1987. The album is recorded on The Edge's birthday.
The album has a really "club" feel to it. It sound like they are playing in
a small club, which is fairly unusual for U2 live albums. It also sound kind
of rough. Like they are just playing for fun and kind of drunk.

For more information, contact me at [email protected]. If you want a copy,
let me know. (I don't believe in paying for bootlegs. My conscience (a pest)
would bug me, seeing as U2 won't make any money off it.

The double album is in the original jacket containing the following songs:
Side one
Stand by Me
C'mon Everybody
I Will Follow
I Trip Through Your Wires
I Still Haven't Found what I am Looking For (inc. Exodus)
Exit (inc. Gloria)

Help
Bad (inc. Walk on the Wild Side)
