U2's Unforgettable Fire Getting Reissued

While no track list or release date has been confirmed, it appears U2 let the cat out of the bag regarding a deluxe reissue of 1984's The Unforgettable Fire. Literally.
According to a post on the atu2.com fan site, news of the release was found in plastic bags containing the band's tour merchandise at last week's 360 Tour opening dates in Barcelona, Spain. A link to the photo can be found here.
The release is slated for October and will be apparently available in various formats: Super Deluxe, Deluxe, CD, vinyl and digital download. The reissue will also include B-sides, rare and unreleased songs and videos and film footage. A box set is also shown, which would make the release similar to 2007's The Joshua Tree reissue.
The group are touring Europe as part of the 360 Tour in support of No Line On The Horizon, but opening night had one notable hiccup. Various fans postings noted how "One" was flubbed rather badly on June 30.
A link to the mix-up is currently on YouTube:
Bono says, "Edge, listen to me, go back to the verse, Adam you might, ah, join with us here... that's good... just stop for a second Edge" before Bono counts into the verse about 40 seconds later.
A full version of the tune shows a close-up of Bono looking a bit irritated and fiddling with his monitors in both ears about a minute in. The song ends with him tapping his chest, as if to say it was his fault.
But hey, it's not like the band ever got stuck inside a giant lemon on opening night. Oh, wait. They did that, too.
