U2 Singles
CD Singles are often hard to find in the United States and are usually quite expensive when they can be found (due to their being imported from the UK). And since they only have 1-3 unique songs on them, the total price per song can be as high as $6.
So I was quite happy when U2 published The Complete U2 at the iTunes Music Store. This meant that most of those hard-to-find b-sides were available for purchase at the reasonable price of 99¢.
Unfortunately, they have continued to release multiple CD singles for individual songs (All Because Of You, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, City of Blinding Lights) that are import-only in the U.S. and are not available on the iTMS.
Wake Up Dead Man Record Labels! End this!

You know, the more I look at this single's album cover, the more I wish it was the album cover for "How To Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" itself. I always felt they were breaking some kind of rule by having a primarily black and white album come out after a primarily black and white album. With all of the possibilities this band has at their fingertips, they could've used a cover like this. (heck, it kind of looks like an atomic explosion, although I guess that means they were unable to disarm it, which would mean they're instructions for disabling it aren't really very good)
