U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin, formed in 1976. They began their legacy by infusing their music with the political turmoil of the time.
After working with producer Steve Lillywhite on their first three albums, U2 sought a more sophisticated and experimental sound. They enlisted the help of Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno to produce "The Unforgettable Fire" and "The Joshua Tree," both of which achieved international success.
In the 90s, U2 reinvented themselves once again by incorporating electronic elements into their rock sound. With "Achtung Baby," they created a new musical direction. Bono and the band used their fame to address social issues on a global scale.

U2's 1985 EP Wide Awake In America. Available here on 180 Gram LP.

Wide Awake In America is a four-track EP, released by U2 in 1985. Originally only released in North America and Japan, it was subsequently re-released internationally in the late 1980s. Side A features live performances of A Sort Of Homecoming and Bad from UK shows on The Unforgettable Fire tour in late 1984. Bad was recorded at the NEC in Birmingham, and A Sort Of Homecoming at Wembley Arena in London. Side B features two B-sides from the 12” single of The Unforgettable Fire – The Three Sunrises and Love Comes Tumbling. These tracks were remastered in 2009 as part of the reissue of The Unforgettable Fire – they were released at that time as CD / digital bonus tracks but a remastered EP has not been released until now. First pressing on vinyl of the 2009 remasters of these tracks.
