Bono and the dredge: ‘New’ U2 albums set to top charts

BUSY saving the world, feeding the starving and berating international leaders? Haven’t time to step into the studio to record some new music?

Here’s a tip: Dredge up some work you did in the early days, add a few new sleeve notes and photos, and bang it out to the shops for those fans who just have to have every-thing you’ve ever released.

Almost three decades after breaking into the music-buying consciousness, U2 still have that chart-topping wherewithal. And this time they didn’t even have to make any new music.
