| OTHER NOTES |
| Window in the Skies was the second and final single released
from the 18 Singles compilation album.
It was newly recorded by Rick Rubin for inclusion in this compilation.
The single was released in Europe on New Year's Day 2007. Due
to this being the holiday season in other areas, there were delays in the
single arriving in other regions, appearing on January 16 in Canada and
expected on February 7 in Japan.
After the release of The Saints are Coming just as a single CD, this
release once again returned to the format of two audio CDs and a DVD which
U2 have been following since 2001. The B-Sides were two tracks taken
from live performances during the 2006 Vertigo tour, and the track U2 recorded
with Leonard Cohen for inclusion in the film "Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man"
which was previously released on the soundtrack
to the film.
Of interest to chat watchers, Windows did not debut at number one in
Canada, instead it debuted at number three. Holding the number one
spot that week? U2 and Green Day with The Saints are Coming.
It would rise to take the number one position the following week however.
As part of the promotion for this single, a cardboard wallet was made
available by mail to residents of the UK who had previously registered
with Island Records. These were sent out by mail and were not available
in other regions. Shipped flat, they could be folded into a box which
would hold the two CDs and the DVD released in the UK. The front
of the wallet and the back
of the wallet both feature similar artwork to the single. |
