There are strong rumors that the band's next album U2 could be edited via Island records, the band's historic record label until seven years ago, when they became part of the Mercury Records catalog. Rumors indicate that the group led by Bono was already quite dissatisfied with the directors of Mercury, and this was added that last March Mercury was absorbed in the United Kingdom by Virgin / EMI, a change that seems to have never convinced the Irish .
A British press source anticipated the upcoming return of U2 to Island, a record company they call after their "Spiritual home", and it would be through this label that they would edit their new album to be released in the first months of 2014.
U2 began their career signing their first contract with Island Records (Bob Marley, Grace Jones or Tom Waits) in the late 1970s, when Island was led by the legendary Chris Blackwell, a businessman and producer who bet on the Irish by releasing his first album: 'Boy' (1980). Bono's band remained on the Island record catalog until seven years ago, when a change in the management of the latter label led them to sign with the British affiliate of Mercury Records.
