| OTHER NOTES |
| When Sinead O'Connor left Chrysalis Records as an artist,
the label was quick to put together a "Best Of" collection featuring her
work to date. The album was released in 1997 and featured two different
track listings in various parts of the world. The North American
release featured "Heroine", "I Want Your Hands on Me" and "Just Like U
Said it Would B" where the release in the rest of the world had "Thank
You for Hearing Me", "Jackie" and "This IS a Rebel Song" instead.
The two songs in which U2 participate are "Heroine" (only on the North
American release) and "You Made Me the Thief of Your Heart". Both
were songs used in soundtracks. "Heroine" was recorded by the Edge
with Sinead and Larry Mullen in 1986 for the Captive
Soundtrack. A single was released. "You
Made Me the Thief of Your Heart" was co-written by Bono, Gavin Friday and
Maurice Seezer, and it was recorded by Sinead for use in the In
the Name of the Father Soundtrack. A single
was also released.
A third track with some U2 connections features on the UK release of
this album. That song, "This IS a Rebel Song" was playfully named
because of the way that Bono used to introduce "Sunday Bloody Sunday" live
in concert. Bono's typical introduction was "This IS NOT a Rebel
Song - this IS Sunday Bloody Sunday". |
