In celebration of the 40th anniversary of U2’s Under A Blood Red Sky (originally release 1983), a newly remastered release of the iconic live album is released through UMR/Island Records.
Consisting of live recordings from three shows on the band’s much-acclaimed War tour, the album helped to cement U2’s reputation globally as one of the greatest live acts of all time. Featuring legendary live versions of early classics including “Gloria,” “I Will Follow,” “New Year’s Day” and “Sunday Bloody Sunday,” the album remains faithful to the original track list, but has been newly remastered at the renowned studio Bernie Grundman Mastering for Black Friday 2023.
U2 had been honing their stagecraft for the best part of 5 years by the time Under A Blood Red Sky was released as their first live album on November 21, 1983. But in the slipstream of their hugely successful third studio album War, issued some nine months earlier, this was the record that told the world that the Irish band were well on the way to becoming one of the greatest attractions in all of live music. As writer Adam Sweeting put it in his Melody Maker review: “Anyone who’s caught the full blast of U2 at full tilt has to admit it’s a rare old shiver.”

This follows up the release of “Lemon” as a remastered single on July 21, 2023. That single featured four mixes of the title track, including the “Morales BYC Version Dub” (06:35), and the “Bad Yard Club Mix” (10:14). The “Bad Yard Club Edit” on the “Stay” EP is an edited of the longer mix found on the “Lemon” single.
The cover being used for the “Stay” EP is the alternate cover used for the second CD release in territories where two versions of the single were issued on CD. The singles have never been released with this cover art in North America.

Elijah is Bono’s son. Sian is The Edge’s daughter. They hold hands on the cover of these Songs Of Experience. Two “children” to evoke the world of 2017 and above all the legacy their parents intend to leave them…Recorded over three years with the help of an XL casting of producers such as Jacknife Lee, Ryan Tedder, Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow and Jolyon Thomas, this fourteenth studio album had to be the loud hailer of a world that is running less and less smoothly. Unsurprisingly, Donald Trump’s presidency and the migrant crisis are a good fuel for the writing of Bono, who’s still an expert in revolts. U2’s leader has the merit of being rather gifted in this area. Except that here, his starting point is something else. He says he’s been influenced by a conversation with his compatriot, the poet Brendan Kennelly, who would have advised him to write as if he was dead! Therefore, Bono imagined these songs as letters sent to his relatives, family, friends, and fans but also to himself. As for sound, we unsurprisingly find the spectacular 80s guitars from The Edge, whose hand has entered the rock history of the end of the 20th century. With a touch of modernity (the Auto-Tune on Love Is All We Have Left and Kendrick Lamar’s voice on Get Out Of Your Own Way) and a true quality in the band’s fundamentals, Songs Of Experience possesses enough arguments to keep the early fans of the Irish quartet excited and charm the others.
