Announcing a series of summer festival appearances, U2 released
The Unforgettable Fire as a single.
The New Musical Express then included an unreleased mix of Wire
on their May 1985 EP of Poll Winners. Bono duetted with Maire Brennan
on Clannad's In A Lifetime, with
a performance completed in two takes.
A live version of Bad was added to the b-side material from The
Unforgettable Fire and released in America as Wide
Awake In America, although the performance actually came from
the Birmingham NEC show.
Do They Know It's Christmas by
Band Aid was then re-released for Christmas.
