Irish superstars U2 celebrate the 20th anniversary of their 11th LP How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb, which was released on 22 November 2004 and features their smashing hit single Vertigo, with an anniversary reissue simply named How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb.
It features a couple of previously unreleased tracks.
One of them is a genuine banger, called HAPPINESS.

The five-star B-sides album THE MASTERPLAN by OASIS, turned 25 last Friday.
For the occasion, an anniversary reissue is out now. It features remastered
audio and is available now on limited 2LP silver-coloured vinyl, 2LP black vinyl
and an Oasis Shop exclusive 2LP green/black marbled coloured vinyl. There’s
also a standard CD version available.
TUTV: At least half of the songs (Acquiesce / Talk Tonight / Fade Away / The Swamp Song /
The Masterplan / Half The World Away / (It’s Good) To Be Free) had A-side quality – as Noel used to say “I don’t write B-sides, I only write A-ones” – and shouldn’t have been released as B-sides, but put aside for their 3rd LP with the 3 best songs (D’You What I Mean / Stand By Me / All Around The World) of the official 3rd longplayer Be Here Now, mostly fucked up because of too many drugs and 24-hour parties.
Acquiesce – Live at Knebworth, 1996

28 August 2021
Band: R.E.M. (Athens, Georgia)
Active: 1980–2011 / 15 studio LPs
Anniversary album: NEW ADVENTURES IN HI-FI
Released: 9 September 1996 – 25 years ago
AllMusic said back then: “Recorded during and immediately following
R.E.M.’s disaster-prone Monster tour, New Adventures in Hi-Fi feels like it
was recorded on the road. Not only are all of Michael Stipe’s lyrics on the
album about moving or travel, the sound is ragged and varied, pieced
together from tapes recorded at shows, soundtracks, and studios,
giving it a loose, careening charm.” Full review here. Score: 3.5/5.
Turn Up The Volume: Certainly not their best, but How The West Was
Won And Where It Got Us, The Wake-Up Bomb, Be Mine, and Departure are
ace songs.
Anniversary edition: “The bonus-filled 2-CD/1-Blu-ray Deluxe Edition offers a trove of audio-visual content, including the newly remastered album, 13 B-sides and rarities, a never-before-released 64-minute outdoor projection film (shown on buildings across five cities in 1996 to promote the album’s original release), and a previously unreleased 30-minute EPK. Additionally, the Blu-ray features New Adventures in Hi-Fi in stunning Hi-Res and 5.1 Surround Sound audio, plus five HD-restored music videos including “Bittersweet Me,” “Electrolite,” and “E-Bow the Letter.” Housed in a 52-page hardcover book, the collection includes archival photographs—many of which have never been published.”
Out: 29th October – more info here.
