07 JUNE 2019 (TORONTO, ON) - Two new coloured 180 gram vinyl reissues from U2, The Unforgettable Fire (1984) and How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb (2004) are out today via Interscope Records/Ume/Universal Music Canada, the country's leading music company.
The Unforgettable Fire
Released nearly 35 years ago in October 1984, The Unforgettable Fire is
the fourth studio album from U2. Recorded at Slane Castle and Windmill
Lane Studios in Ireland, it was the first U2 album to be produced by
Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. The album’s lead single “Pride (In The
Name Of Love)” not only delivered the band its biggest hit at that time,
the song has become the most frequently played live number in the U2
repertoire. A staple of best album lists and essays by fans, critics and
fellow artists, The Unforgettable Fire is hailed as U2’s first
sonic reinvention and remains among the band’s most beloved works with
classic cuts such as “Bad,” “A Sort of Homecoming” and the title track.
