U2 and Green Day - The Saints Are Coming single / Definitive U2 Best Of album

A single cd containing the best of U2 is due for release on November 20th, entitled U218 Singles.

The collection will contain 16 of the band's best known songs and two new tracks. The new material was recorded during sessions at London's Abbey Road studios last month, is produced by the pioneering Rick Rubin and consists of a U2/Green Day rendition of The Skids' The Saints Are Coming and a brand new U2 track.

The cd is preceded by the release of the U2 / Green Day collaboration on 30th October - as a digital download - and on 6th November as a 7-inch and cd single. Proceeds from The Saints Are Coming will benefit Music Rising, a charity working with musicians affected by Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans and the Gulf region.

Both bands performed the song live at the re-opening of the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans last Monday, 25th September. This live version is streamed at www.rhapsody.com/musicrising where it is available for US-only download.

U218 Singles will be released on CD and 12" vinyl and as a full length DVD featuring the single promo videos. The collection will also be available as a limited edition CD with a bonus DVD of 10 tracks recorded live in Milan, Italy on the Vertigo//05 tour.
