U2 is a withdrawn EP by Negativland, released on SST Records in 1991.[1] The EP and the band gained notoriety when lawyers representing Island Records sued Negativland over the EP's unauthorized sampling of the U2 song "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and misleading artwork.[2] The EP's two tracks and related material were later collected on the compilation These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit.
