Win a U2 ‘How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb’ Exclusive Vinyl

How would you like to win an exclusive U2 How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb vinyl? Well, here’s your chance!

In celebration of 20th anniversary of U2’s How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, U2 have released How to Re-Assemble an Atomic Bomb, which is a collection of 10 unearthed songs from the original recording sessions.

This special vinyl release is exclusive to Record Store Day’s Black Friday promotion, but we’ve got our own exclusive version of this black and red marble vinyl that can be yours.

The Edge said of How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb, “The sessions for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb were such a creative period for the band, we were exploring so many song ideas in the studio. We were inspired to revisit our early music influences, and it was a time of deep personal introspection for Bono who was attempting to process – dismantle – the death of his father.

“For this anniversary edition I went into my personal archive to see if there were any unreleased gems and I hit the jackpot. We chose ten that really spoke to us. Although at the time we left these songs to one side, with the benefit of hindsight we recognize that our initial instincts about them being contenders for the album were right, we were onto something.

“What you’re getting on this shadow album is that raw energy of discovery, the visceral impact of the music, a sonic narrative, a moment in time, the exploration and interaction of four musicians playing together in a room… this is the pure U2 drop.”

This shadow album includes new, never-before-heard or previously released songs – “Treason,” “Evidence of Life,” “Country Mile” and “Happiness”; plus a song called “Luckiest Man In The World” – familiar to fans under its working title “Mercy.” An early demo of the song was leaked online almost 20 years ago and now it’s getting its official release.

The set also comes with five newly remastered songs – “Picture of You (X+W),” “I Don’t Wanna See You Smile,” “Are We Gonna Wait Forever?,” “Theme From The Batman” and “All Because Of You 2” – all collected together for the first time.
