You can even hear (lead singer) Bono signaling the band to go into a bridge or chorus.” “Some of the songs sound close to being final versions, but others are still instrumentals without vocal tracks. “What makes this almost unprecedented is that these are tapes of songs that aren’t even finished yet,” says Pete Howard, publisher of the International CD Exchange newsletter, who says he received the bootleg from an anonymous subscriber. In this case, The New U2 arrives while the band is still recording, with its album untitled and not scheduled for release until October. Many superstar rock bands have seen their live material or studio outtakes bootlegged, but not until after the group’s new album has surfaced. But the album has caused an immediate stir, especially with U2 having been out of the public eye for the past two years. It’s impossible to say how many copies of the bootleg exist. Titled The New U2: Rehearsals and Full Versions, the album is being sold with two discs to a jacket, offering nearly 30 new songs, including such possible new material as “She’s Gonna Blow Your House Down,” “Sweet Baby Jane,” “I Feel Free,” “Don’t Say Goodbye” and “Don’t Let the Dues Get You Down.” Thus the titles are not from official band sources, but are most likely titles developed from those pressing the bootlegs.įrom the Los Angeles Times in May, 1991, ran the following:īut U2 fans, both in America and across much of Europe, have quietly been taping and circulating a bootleg four-album set of rough, sometimes unfinished mixes of the band’s long-awaited new album.

The song is also known by other titles such as “Got to Get Together Now,” “Please Don’t Go,” “Did You Wanna!” and “Get Together Now” from other bootleg pressings. The title “High as a Kite” was used on the bootlegs, U2’s Unreleased Album and Soul Preacher. The title comes from bootleg recordings of the song. The title itself is not an official title, and was not generated by the band itself. “High as a Kite” is a title given to a song developed for Achtung Baby.
