Description

U2 - The "Unforgetable" Fire - Misspelled title on the front and back cover. See the error pictured on the front of the sleeve - (UNFORGETABLE) in the gold bar that runs down the right side on the of the front of the sleeve. Type should read "Unforgettable" Fire. This was an error by the graphics department and overlooked by art directors and copy proofers. The same title is misspelled on the back of the sleeve as well. A very few of these made it into the record shops when they were released in New Zealand in 1985 before they were quickly recalled and destroyed. Not many copies are still around.
****So commonly overlooked about the New Zealand EP version is that it contains the only NEVER BEFORE RELEASED OR AVAILABLE track of " LOVE COMES TUMBLING". You cannot find this version of the track on CD: it was only issued on NZ vinyl. The version has a different introduction as well as different raw and unfinished vocals by Bono. This version of the song was never available on any other release - not U.K., not Aussie, not U.S., etc. And, it never made it to the remastered B - Sides on the 25th anniverary edition of "The Unforgettable Fire". The typo and extremely rare version of this song makes this a true and EXTREMELY RARE collectable item. Condition of sleeve is VG+++( with removable sticker. Vinyl is Mint.
