Comment(s):
A lot of these tracks are the same as the ones on the SALOME THE [AXTUNG BEIBI] OUTTAKES 3CD set. The live tracks are not the greatest sound quality, but are very interesting. (i.e., Larry on vocals, Axl Rose, etc.). This CD is also known as Disc 1 of the 3 CD set called ULTRA RARE TRAX. The set is actually numbered and only 1000 were made. This CD is sometimes sold in a 3CD set called SUPER RARE TRAX 1-2-3.
This is the original pressing on this label. -Original

Comment(s):
An excellent CD, just for the rare live performances of "Hawkmoon 269", "Spanish Eyes", and "Mothers Of The Disappeared". "Womanfish" and "Sun City" also made the CD worth getting. Track 18 is taken right from the single, and is not a live performance. This CD is also known as Disc 2 of the 3 CD set called ULTRA RARE TRAX. This CD is sometimes sold in a 3CD set called SUPER RARE TRAX 1-2-3.
This is the original pressing on this label.

Comment(s):
A very interesting collection of live tracks, including a number of unreleased songs (Tracks 9-12, 16). Track 16 is introduced by Bono as listed, but the song is the same as "The Dream Is Over", (see CONTRACT DEMOS, BEFORE THE LEGEND STARTED, ZOOMERANG IN ADELAIDE, or SHADOWS AND TALL TREES) but with different lyrics. Track 8 is performed with Bob Dylan. This CD is also known as Disc 3 of the 3 CD set called ULTRA RARE TRAX. This CD is sometimes sold in a 3CD set called SUPER RARE TRAX 1-2-3. This is the original pressing on this label.
