Zooropa is the eighth studio album by Irish rock band U2. Produced by Flood, Brian Eno, and The Edge, it was released on 5 July 1993 on Island Records. Inspired by the band's experiences on the Zoo TV Tour, Zooropa expanded on many of the tour's themes of technology and media oversaturation. The record was a continuation of the group's experimentation with alternative rock, electronic dance music, and electronic sound effects that began with their previous album, Achtung Baby, in 1991.

Initially intended to be just an EP, Zooropa became a full-fledged album with 10 tracks recorded in six-weeks, the fastest U2 album ever. Interesting releases from around the world included two Australian sets of 2 x 5 CD packs. The first 2 x 5 CD pack included a copy of the Stay (Swing Format) single as the 2nd bonus CD. Virgin Megastore in Adelaide also released the Even Better Than the Real Thing single as their 2nd bonus CD. In Germany, Universal released a 2-CD box set with a copy of both Achtung Baby and Zooropa.

Notes

Almost complete concert recorded live at the Sidney Football Stadium, Sidney (day 2 of 2), November 27, 1993.
This release is missing the whole "Television, The Drug Of The Nation" backing tape at the start of the intro (140 seconds), 10 seconds of "Mysterious Ways" are missing (and are badly patched).
Taken from the TV broadcast of the show.

It seemed that all the pressings with the patched "Mysterious Ways" are taken from the original KTS release "Zooropa Down Under".
