U2 – The Unforgettable Fire
(Red Wine vinyl, 1000 copies)
U2's fourth full-length offering was their first without Steve Lilywhite, who had produced all three of the band's previous albums, and their first collaboration with the production duo of Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois, with whom the band would go onto record two of their most successful albums,
The Joshua Tree and
Achtung Baby.
The Unforgettable Firefinds the band in transition, still growing into the trademark sound they would perfect on The Joshua Tree, but there are audible hints towards their trajectory, particularly on 'Pride (In the Name of Love)', their biggest hit at the time.
The band have recently unveiled limited edition reissues of both this and their 2004 LP
How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, both pressed onto coloured vinyl and only available on the high street at hmv.
The Unforgettable Fire is limited to 1000 copies and pressed onto red wine-coloured vinyl.
