Description

Country: The Netherlands Label: Island Records Catalog: RHB1 UPC: None Package: Picture Sleeve Track Listing: Night and Day (Twilight Remix) / Night and Day (Steel String Remix) Further Information: Black vinyl released in a numbered picture sleeve. Limited to 5000 copies.

The first new material in the 1990s by U2 was this cover song of Cole Porter's Night and Day. It was found on the compilation for AIDS research, Red, Hot and Blue. Although never commercially released, in the UK and the Netherlands this promotional single was released by Island. It was numbered on the front cover and limited to 5000 copies. The front cover also carried the tracklisting and the credits for the release in the border, as well as the titles of the release.

The promo featured two mixes of Night and Day which were different from the version found on Red, Hot and Blue. The Steel String Remix would later appear on the commercial release for One in 1992. The Twilight remix was the same as the mix called Youth's Remix on the Out Loud compilation released in 1995 but was listed under a different name. On this release the track is listed as being 6:16 but in reality it is the same version and is indeed only 5:22 in length. This has lead to some confusion as to whether these are the same song or not - they are the same.
