"The Best of 1980-1990"
Although U2 have said on several occasions that they were not in favor of "best ofs" or "greatest hits" albums, Island Records released "The Best of 1980-1990 " compilation in 1998. The specially commissioned former B-side, "Sweetest Thing" was added, which soon became a hit once it was released. In addition to this compilation, Island added a second CD of B-sides from the same era, though the majority of them came from the years 1987-1989.

Comments:
Due to a shortage of money, U2's record company, "Island Records" agreed with U2 for the release of two compilation/greatest hits albums. This is the first focusing on U2 hits from the 1980s. Along with its release, a special edition double CD including B-sides was also sold. Among those B-Sides are the songs: "Everlasting Love", "Silver and Gold", "Three Sunrises" and "Unchained Melody". The CDs included a previously unreleased version of "The Sweetest Thing (the Single Mix)". |
