To mark the 20th anniversary of their eight-time Grammy winning How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, U2 are reissuing it, along with a “shadow album” which contains ten previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions.
How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb // How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb will drop digitally Friday November 22 and physically Friday November 29, as a Record Store Day Black Friday exclusive.
Says The Edge: “The sessions for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb were such a creative period for the band, we were exploring so many song ideas in the studio. We were inspired to revisit our early music influences, and it was a time of deep personal introspection for Bono who was attempting to process — dismantle — the death of his father.”
Two of the tunes from the original sessions which didn’t make it onto the original album are Picture Of You and Country Mile.
Love, Dr. Scott James
