U2 - Hallelujah Here She Comes - Non-Album Tracks (1988-1989)

In my opinion, U2 has a lot of great non-album tracks, and so many that I'm able to make about one stray tracks compilation album for every studio album the band released. This is that type of album for the "Rattle and Hum" era in 1988 and 1989. I think that out of all of the U2 stray tracks albums I've made, this is probably the strongest musically.

The album is a mix of originals and covers. The originals are very solid. For instance, I think "Hallelujah Here She Comes" is a drastically underrated song that should have been on "Rattle and Hum" and might have even been a hit. "She's a Mystery to Me" is a great song. U2 wrote it for Roy Orbison, and he did a version for his last album right before he died. U2 did a studio version, but for some reason it's never been officially released or even bootlegged. So instead I've included a rare live version.

There are more covers than originals. I think they're some of the best covers U2 ever did, such as "Dancing Barefoot" by Patti Smith and "Everlasting Love," a classic soul hit from the 1960s. The first five songs are all B-sides. The next two are from various artists compilations. The next one, "Wild Irish Rose," is unreleased, but it's a studio cut from a TV documentary. Only the last two are from bootlegs of live performances.

For the cover art, I chose a photo that is similar in style to the artwork in the "Rattle and Hum" era. In fact, the picture is from the inside of the "Desire" single. But I moved the drummer, Larry Mullen Jr. closer to the others because he was way to the side in the original. Rest of the colors and artwork also match the general style of U2 art from that era.
