USM & Island Records are excited to share detail of a series of vinyl reissues from the illustrious U2 catalogue with studio albums ‘Pop’ (1997) & ‘All That You Can’t Leave Behind’ (2000) and the 1985 EP ‘Wide Awake In America’

Wide Awake In America is a four-track EP, released by U2 in 1985. Originally only released in North America and Japan, it was subsequently re-released internationally in the late 1980s.

Side A features live performances of ‘A Sort Of Homecoming’ and ‘Bad’ from UK shows on The Unforgettable Fire tour in late 1984. ‘Bad’ was recorded at the NEC in Birmingham, and ‘A Sort Of Homecoming’ at Wembley Arena in London.

Side B features two B-sides from the 12” single of The Unforgettable Fire – ‘The Three Sunrises’ and ‘Love Comes Tumbling’.

These tracks were remastered in 2009 as part of the reissue of The Unforgettable Fire – they were released at that time as CD/digital bonus tracks but a remastered EP has not been released until now.
