| LINER NOTES |
| North and South of the River: Written by Christy
Moore, Bono and the Edge. Produced by Christy Moore and Steve Lillywhite.
Bono and the Edge: Backing vocals. Christy Moore pefroms with Bono
and the Edge for the first and only time on "North & South of the River".
Traditional music meets rock'n'roll in their song which expresses hope
for peace in Ireland. |
| OTHER NOTES |
| Christy Moore, Bono and the Edge collaborated on writing
the song "North and South of the River". In 1995, Christy Moore recorded
the song, and Bono and the Edge recorded backing vocals for the song.
This was released as a standalone single, and
it is that version which appears on this collection. U2 would later
re-record the song, putting a techno twist on it, and releasing it on the
b-side of Staring at the Sun.
The Celtic Heartbeat label was set up by U2's manager Paul McGuinness,
along with partners Dave Kavanagh and Barbara Galavan. The label
was set up to collect the best of "authentic" Celtic music and bring it
to the world. |
