"UNDER A BLOOD RED SKY "

U2's first live album was released in November 1983.  Its budget price reflected the running time of 35 minutes.  It was one of the band's biggest selling albums, staying in the UK album charts for over 200 consecutive weeks, the longest chart reign for any U2 album.  While it reached number 1 in the UK album charts, in the USA it was a different story--it could only manage a lowly number 28.
