Originally posted by TheCowboyFor the Pop releases, U2 returned to the studio to re-record the underdeveloped songs to make them sound closer to how they performed them live. Also, other songs were shortened (like the cutting of the chatter out of the beginning of Desire), mixed differently (Miracle Drug had a special "single" mix where the sound was turned up significantly, Angel of Harlem had the horns turned up as well), or just flat-out remixed like Original of the Species, All Because of You, or Who's Gonna Ride.
In some instances, the songs that were remixed were secondary singles, like the Temple Bar mix of WGRYWH. A less-produced version of the single had the studio version of the song.
The re-recorded songs for Pop are almost always better-sounding than the originals, but Last Night On Earth's single mix and Please's single mix stand out as superior quality material.
As far as B-sides, some of the best ones are the ones that get the least amount of talk. The orchestral mix (the name of which escapes me) of Stay (Faraway, So Close!) is phenomenal, as is the completely ignored Summer Rain from the ATYCLB-era singles. The CD-single for One has two of the best songs that U2 never put on an LP, Lady With the Spinning Head and a cover of Lou Reed's Satellite of Love.
