Unforgettable Classic

The album, which received five stars from Q Magazine. on its original release, has sold more than 600,000 copies in the UK alone and went straight to No. 1 in the charts.

The band - unavoidably detained in Los Angeles broadcasting live to half the planet on YouTube - sent a video thanking Q for their support and also accepting the award on behalf of producers Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.

Today's special edition of The Unforgettable Fire marks 25 years since original release. Recorded at Slane Castle, Ireland, it featured two top 10 UK singles - 'Pride (In The Name Of Love)' and 'The Unforgettable Fire'.

Special formats of the new release include bonus audio material, including two previously unheard tracks from the Slane Castle sessions: 'Yoshino Blossom', and 'Disappearing Act' (a track which the band recently completed), and a DVD including music videos, a documentary and unreleased live footage from the Amnesty International Conspiracy of Hope Tour in 1986.

Frak - 27 October, 2009 Unforgetable It was Bob Dylan's comment about how much he liked "The Unforgetable Fire", that started me listening to U2. Once again Dylan opened my mind to something new and terrifically effecting! If he only knew what he had started.

Lynette - 11 November, 2009 A true headbanger I was 17 and went out of my way to only listen to and play heavy metal. This album brought me to my knees. The spirit of the album is still incredible. It still evokes the feelings of change and feelings that you could change the world. Both my kids a major U2 fans. My 18 year old sons first lullaby was MLK
