    But I know how hard they're gonna be to get. Mothership/Odieupussy is the original Mofo (only three demos in existence I know from POP which are Levitate, the original Discotheque and Big Girls Are Best). Shark Soup is the second version of Vertigo which I don't know, I heard it had the ending of Vertigo and start/middle of Native Son.

    They weren't in the lists I sent you were they? I don't recall seeing them but then I only look at things for a few seconds, so I may not have seen it. Though there is a demo of Original of The Species going around from 2000-2002 as well, called Everywhere You Go.

    That's pretty full-on for you but at least it's most of them, so keep them coming and I'll merge.

    I don't have every single one (I wish I did, now I have a massive-arse hard drive of 320GB and not that it actually bloody well works) but I can you a good 50+. Look for my email address and send a request, and I'll get you up and going with them. Actually even better here it is for those who couldn't find it anywhere (it's in numerous threads so email me if you want, you might have to wait a day or so):

    mofo.rockandroll@gmail.com

    And we will look for the original Mofo demos as well as Shark Soup, though I don't think we'll have an awful lot of success.

  6. Just curious, what exactly are you guys compiling on that list?
    I see album tracks, B-sides, cover songs, alternate versions, "duets", demos...

    Well that's all the official material we could think of besides actual album tracks. You'd have them all I expect?
  8. Ah, okay. I'd seperate the lists, though: Official U2 releases, official callborations, demos or something like that...

    And no, of course I don't have them all. I didn't go through the list track by track, but for sure I'm missing the demo tape with Concentration Camp, Night Fright, Inside Out and Hang up they recorded with Jackie Hayden for example.

    But for sure there's more, I'm no completist.
  9. OK then, I'll seperate them all eventually, thanks for the suggestion.

    Levitation-Bono describes this song as a direction that the album could have gone.
    Jubilee
    Novelty Act-rumoured song to appear on Stuck in a Moment single.
    Busy Bee-seen on Beautiful Day video. Again the white board under Elevation.

    then there's this which is not from Eno's notes but still interesting, I've never heard of Viva la Romone.
    How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb:
    Full Metal Jacket=Native Son=Shark Soup=Viva la Romone=Vertigo....

  11. interesting list there Edge. Never even heard of a lot of songs on that list
  12. • Bird Whistle

    Maybe the Brian Eno song where he approached Universal or Island with a list of bird names to read over a French-sounding tune. Around the same time too.

    • 3 Minutes to Midnight

    Driving to Midnight Mass?

    • Love Is All Around

    Maybe the 'Love Is...' song I've been talking about for years.

    • Good Morning

    Appears in U2byU2 - refer to the Hanover Quay photos on the HTDAAB section.

    • Miracle Drug

    Wonder what this turned out like? But many of the songs from HTDAAB originated through POP and ATYCLB.

    • Never Say Goodbye (“...love will never...”

    Kite?

    • Levitate ($1M Movie Mix)

    Wasn't this part of Unreleased and Rare?

    • A Man and A Woman (Bono and Brian: “Boomerang 3”)

    This song deserved to be on ATYCLB taking place of Grace.

    • Night Shift/Harder/Love and Peace

    Three versions? It was originally from POP as well (strangely enough began life as 'If God Will Send His Angels' or 'Please'.

    • Always (with the “With Or Without You” vocal approach)

    Ended up on 7EP - ten million times better than Beautiful Day!

    • Are You Going To Wait Forever?

    Ended up as a B-side as we already know on ABOY.

    • Love Will Never Say Goodbye

    Is this the song "Goodbye?"

    Original of the Species*

    A spoken lyric originally from 2000/2001?

    Levitation-Bono describes this song as a direction that the album could have gone.

    The new version of Levitate?

    Jubilee

    Also in the Hanover Quay HTDAAB section of U2byU2.

    then there's this which is not from Eno's notes but still interesting, I've never heard of Viva la Romone.
    How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb:
    Full Metal Jacket=Native Son=Shark Soup=Viva la Romone=Vertigo....


    I knew about Full Metal Jacket, Native Song, Shark Soup and Vertigo. But Viva la Romone?
