1. Crap sleeve. Good concept, but fonts too simple. Why no Island
"rainbow flash" on the side of the CD?? The 2CD label on the plastic
case obscures the U2 down the spine as well. Picky, but Acthung Baby,
Zooropa and Pop are all FAR FAR better. Very disappointing.

2. Track List. No "Gloria" - can live with that. No "11 O'Clock Tick
Tock" - inexcusable. Weaker version of "Bad" - live preferred.
Inclusion of "When Love Comes to Town" - dodgy! Some more "obscure but
great" songs would have been welcomed. e.g. "Red Hill Mining Town".
Also wouldn't "Night and Day" recorded 1990 slip in as a good "rare"
track, that also points the way forward??

3. B-Sides. Why oh why oh why oh why..."Endless Deep", "Room at the
Heartbreak", "Everlasting Love" ????? Replace with any from "Things to
Make and Do", "Touch", "Treasure (Whatever Happened to Pete the
Chop)".....or even one of the Boomerangs.

Summary - disappointed. Probably won't get listened to, but have to
have it as for the collection.

And finally....Best of 1 (1980-1990)..Best of 2 (1990-2000)..Best of 3
must be live or remixes....only reason why Bad(Live), Bullet the Blue
Sky(Live), Running to Stand Still(Live) were possible left off the
current release.

Come on, come on.....eager for the NEW record, but prepared to wait...

Cheers now,
RED.
