Background Information
This promotional release from the United States contained songs that Island Records would be promoting during the Summer of 1997. The songs were intended for “Contemporary Hit Radio” or CHR. The CD itself comes with a front and back insert, and features several different Island logos on the back sleeve of the release. This CD contains the Polygram ‘0501’ marking on the back cover and on the inside insert.
The U2 song included on this release is the album version of the song, suggesting that this promotional release was prepared before the single mix was finalized and distributed to the label. There is no information about U2 on the promo other than a note that the song was taken from the album Pop, and the catalog number of the album.
