Originally posted by yeahBono handed out a pre-release version of HTDAAB where Mercy was still included to a fan and that way it leaked on the net.
At least that's what I remember... check interference, the story is there somewhere.

In late 2004, Mercy, an unreleased track taken from the How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb sessions, surfaced on the Internet through a fan (U2SJ at Interference) who had been given a copy of the album containing the extra track. The track is of less than standard audio quality, but managed to become a favorite on fan websites. Singer Michael W. Smith joined the band in the studio during the Atomic Bomb sessions and worked on at least one track with them entitled North Star. That track, which was a tribute to Johnny Cash, has not yet surfaced officially or unofficially in any form.
