UUSI U2 THE BEST OF 1980 - 1990 & B-SIDES 2CD (1998) - EI PK

Special Edition 2CD

Island and U2 realized that longtime fans
of the band wouldn't need The Best of
1980-1990. Unlike the proposed Best of
1990-2000, which would likely boast the
non-LP "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill
Me" and the Passengers' "Miss Sarajevo,"
1980-1990 contained nothing but material
culled directly from the albums, which
didn't exactly entice hardcore followers.
So, the label and the band decided to pair
the compilation with a collection of the
group's B-sides from the '80s, none of
which had ever appeared on an album
before. For die-hard U2 fans, this is so-
mething of a godsend -- not necessarily
a holy grail, which would have been a
complete B-sides collection including the
long-missing early EPs -- since many of
these tracks have been out of print for
years. Despite the uneven music, fans
will need The B-Sides, not just for the
worthy contenders but for its sheer rarity.
Not only have the B-sides themselves
been difficult to locate, but the disc itself
was designed as a collector's item: after
the first week of sales, The B-Sides was
pulled from the market, and Island ship-
ped only The Best of 1980-1990. Clearly,
this was a tactic to raise press awareness
and boostsales, but that doesn't mean
that fans shouldn't take advantage of its
limited release.
