Album Outtakes Thread

Originally posted by yeahCould you make clearer what exactly are you intending to collect here? Working titles, alternate versions, unreleased tracks, true demo's or a mixture of all of this, as the actual list suggests...?

Originally posted by yeahOkay, you could start from adding the titles on the Salome Outtakes for AB and the three leftovers from Zooropa then.
Could you tell me something about the Pop era stuff? I know about Hymn to the Universe, Supercity Mania and Big Girls are Best. But the rest doesn't ring any bell at the moment.

Alright, trade of knowledge. What were the three Zooropa left overs?

For the Pop stuff: http://www.u2station.com/news/archives/1997/03/index.php - that site is invaluable

Originally posted by U2Nickdamn, I've never even heard of 90% of the songs listed lol

Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, Wake Up Dead Man and If You Wear That Velvet Dress.

I knew that list from U2station as txt file, but I thought, you might know what these are/became, like Supercity Mania became Miami, Scott Walker (is that one in the list?) became COBL, ...

Originally posted by drewhigginsAfter some discussion over in the New Album thread, I said I would start an Album Outtakes Thread, listing demos and unreleased tracks from each session.

If anyone wants to add any songs to the list they're more than welcome. Please check first whether the titles you're adding are fake, rehearsals and whatever else before you submit, otherwise this list is not going to be a true list (unless you can provide a source which is even better).

"If God Will Send His Angels" also belongs in the Zooropa outtakes section.
"Numb" was called "Down All Days" - was an outtake of the Achtung Baby sessions.
"Love And Peace" dates back to the ATYCLB sessions.
"City of Blinding Lights" in one form or another dates back to the Pop sessions.
