Background Information
This 2012 compilation of tracks worked on by Underdog aka Trevor Jackson, was produced on his own label Bite It Records (now Output Records). Two limited releases were done “Underdogs Greatest Bits Volume One” and “Volume Two” and each were limited to 500 copies. The back of each CD is hand numbered. A small limited number were sold together with an even more limited bonus CD.
Underdog remixed “Stay (Faraway, So Close!)” for the Melon fan club album in 1995 but it was released at the same time on a Select Magazine cassette called “Select Exclusives“. That remix used the vocal from “Stay” and put an electronic beat under the track. This 2012 remix is different. Titled “Mix 2” on this release, it actually features a different alternate vocal track. This is noticeable in several places in the song but perhaps is most noticeable in the city names that Bono sings. Instead of “Miami, New Orleans, London, Belfast and Berlin” Bono instead is heard to sing “Nashville, New Orleans, Boston, Belfast and Berlin” on this particular mix. The backing track is similar to what was used on Melon, the real treat here is hearing the alternate vocals.
The CD is out of print now, and this is the only known location to find this remix at the time of this writing.
