To placate physical retailers affected by the digital exclusivity period , Universal offered them a deluxe version of '' Songs of Innocence '' that contains four additional songs , along with several acoustic versions of the record 's songs . The bonus tracks were exclusive to brick-and-mortar stores and music streaming services for five weeks . The iTunes Store then released the ten deluxe edition tracks under the title '' Songs of Innocence '' on 18 November 2014 . Retailers also received catalogue deals that discounted U2 's albums in stores by $ 3 for a period of time . A Grammy Awards spokesperson initially said the album would not be eligible for consideration at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards because it would not have been available for purchase prior to the 30 September eligibility deadline . However , the ruling was reversed after UMG released a limited-edition vinyl pressing of the album to retailers on the cutoff date
