Media Review:

Review: Last Night on Earth [Cassette]

1 1/2 stars (out of 5)

By JT Griffith, All Music Guide

This is another useless U2 cassette single. The only two tracks are the single version of "Last Night on Earth" and the very fun cover of "Pop Muzik (Pop Mart Mix)." But with six different tracks released in conjunction with this song, why buy the one with only two? This tape was only released in the U.K.
