Album Notes
U2: Bono (vocals, guitar); The Edge (guitar, keyboards, vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums).Additional personnel includes: B.B. King (vocals, guitar); Una O'Kane, Nicola Cleary, Aengus O'Connor, Nicholas Milne (strings); The Memphis Horns (horns); Paul Barrett (piano, keyboards); Billy Preston (Hammond organ, background vocals); Joey Miskulin (organ); Brian Eno (synthesizer); Benmont Tench (keyboards); Ms. Bobbye Hall (percussion); Rebecca Evans Russell, Phyllis Duncan, Helen Duncan, Edna Wright, Maxine Waters, Julia Waters (background vocals).Producers: Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, Jimmy Iovine.Engineers include: Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Paul Thomas.They burst onto the scene at the onset of the '80s with a majestic, uplifting, earnest approach and a unique textural sound that endeared them to fans and critics alike. U2 spent the rest of the decade growing up in public, solidifying their status as post-punk icons, marrying the good intentions of old school alternative rock with the epic sonic scale of classic '70s rockers, never sounding less than totally original and never pausing for a hits compilation--until now. BEST OF offers a good representation of the complex body of work that made the band a legend.Fittingly, the album begins with the debut's "I Will Follow" a statement of commitment to pursuing truth and spirituality despite continual and inevitable misgivings. "Desire" mates Bono's lyrical fervor with a modified Bo Diddley beat to fine effect. New world meets old on the bluesy B.B. King collaboration "When Love Comes to Town." Closing things out, "All I Want is You" shows the moody, reflective side of the band, giving Bono a chance to croon and the rest of the band to exhibit the understated side of their instrumental might.

Editorial Reviews
The martial snares and boyish histrionics that made them one of the world's biggest rock acts have held up pretty well....As for disc 2, aside from the playful `Sweetest Thing' and some worthy covers, the B sides sound like it. - Rating: B

  Best Of U2 says it all !!
Review created: 09/08/08

You really can't go wrong when it comes to U2. Amazing music played by geniouses. There can't be many people who haven't got a song of theres that means something special in there life, something that brings memories flooding back when it's played somewhere. Thier songs cover such a wide range of emotions it would be difficult to find anyone else to compare them to. Personally I just think they are fantastic. The only problem with this album is that it doesn't cover a fraction of what I would say was the Best Of U2 during that decade. Other than that I don't have a bad word to say about even one second of either of the discs. It is just the usual top quality product we have come to expect from such an amazing talant. Buy it! You can't go wrong.

l Already have this C.D.have had it a while 2or3 of the tracks were sticking & not playing l bidded for the above and was most suprised & pleased to see it contained a second side it both sides work & plays perfectly all in all it was an excellent bid on my part and l did give this e bayer a very good feedback and would most certainly deal again lf i remember rightly the only thing l do find on majority of my bids are the very high postage charges most e bayers pt on their goods l would say approx 95% of selling e bayers l know posta;l charges have gone up but it is ridiculous what they charge !

This is an absolutely fantastic cd. It is a rare edition as the there are 2 of these albums.One is the single cd album but this one is the double cd album which contains all the b side. This is an all time favourite of mine and contains all of Bono's A1 songs.All the classics are on this album. I have listened to this cd over and over again. It really is the 'BEST YOU CAN GET'.
I advise anybody who likes U2 to purchase this item..
