U2 have announced that they are releasing ‘The Europa EP’, a new 3-track EP to celebrate Record Store Day on Saturday 13^th April 2019. The EP features an exclusive new mix of previously unreleased material from U2’s recent eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour, with Charlie Chaplin’s electrifying speech from the movie The Great Dictator (1940) underscored by a mash-up of ‘Songs Of Experience’ album track Love Is All We Have Left and Zooropa, leading into a performance of New Year’s Day recorded live in Dublin on 5^th November last year. Read our take on U2 at the 3Arena here.

The EP also comprised of two ‘Euro’-tinged remixes: St. Francis Hotel’s mix of the original album version of New Year’s Day and Jon Pleased Wimmin’s Euromantic mix of Love Is All We Have Left. The EP cover art is a Chaplinesque homage to the Europe-themed artwork of U2’s 1993 album ‘Zooropa’ and features the figure 130, in celebration of Chaplin’s 130^th birthday which falls on 16^th April 2019.
