U2 - Songs Of Experience [CD]

* Cover photo by Anton Corbijn of Bono’s son (Eli) and The Edge’s daughter (Sian) U2 return with their hotly anticipated new studio album ‘Songs of Experience’. The Island Records priority release completes a stellar year for the Dublin band, following their return to stadiums with the critically acclaimed, sold out ‘The Joshua Tree Tour 2017’ playing to 2.4 million fans in just 51 shows across Europe and North and South America, as well as the successful 30th Anniversary re-issue of ‘The Joshua Tree’. The new album – their 14th - is the companion piece to 2014’s ‘Songs of Innocence’, the two titles taking reference from English poet William Blake’s ‘Songs of Innocence and Experience’. ‘The Blackout’ and ‘You’re The Best Thing About Me’ were the first songs to be made available from the album. ‘You’re The Best Thing About Me’ is the band’s first Top 20 airplay record in a decade and has also been remixed by Norwegian superstar DJ and producer Kygo. The multi-million record selling band will be in the UK to promote ‘Songs of Experience’ later this year, with new tour dates to be announced soon. • Standard CD Standard jewel case (1 disc) 24page standard booklet on standard paper, machine varnish • Deluxe CD 4-additional tracks VS standard album 4panel digi-sleeve 2 x 12pg concertina booklets on 1 x disc • 2LP vinyl 3 Additional tracks VS standard album 2 x 180gsm cyan blue vinyl 1 x download voucher 1 x gatefold sleeve on reverse board 2 x printed inner sleeves, 250gsm 1 x 6 panel oversized booklet • Extra-Deluxe Box 12” x12” rigid box (numbered) 2LP gatefold vinyl Deluxe CD Fold-out poster Songs of Experience Newspaper Download voucher
