U2 "Desire" (1988) (single)

Desire, 12'' single
release date: Sep. 19, 1988
format: vinyl (611 670)
[single rate: 4 / 5] [3,98]
producer: Jimmy Iovine
label: Island Records - nationality: Ireland

Tracklist: A) 1. "Desire" (4 / 5) - 2. "Hallelujah, Here She Comes" - - B) "Desire (Hollywood Remix)"

Single release by U2 taken from the forthcoming album Rattle and Hum (Oct. 1988) marks a bit of a change as the release isn't produced by the usual two - Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno. Instead the single and upcoming album is produced by American producer Jimmy Iovine, who worked as sound engineer on Springsteen's Darkness on the Edge of Town (1978) but basically has produced for many artists over the past two decades.
I really loved the title track, and the second track is quite good, but the B-side is really just a filler.
