U2 readies four versions of 'Atomic Bomb'

"How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," U2 's first new album since 2000's "All That You Can't Leave Behind," will be available in four different configurations, the band has announced.

In addition to a standard CD, the group will also issue a CD/DVD version that will include a documentary titled "U2 and 3 Songs." The DVD features band interviews and footage of the group performing new songs at its Dublin recording studio.

A third version, tagged as the "Deluxe Limited Edition," will include the CD and DVD, as well as a full-color, hardbound book containing "extracts from the band members' note books, original paintings, illustrations and photography along with quotes and statistics," according to U2's website.

The group also plans to issue a vinyl version of the set.

Due in stores on Nov. 22, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb" features U2's latest hit, "Vertigo." The cut, which has been available via Apple's iTunes Music Store since last month, will be available in stores as a hard-copy release on Nov. 8.

"Vertigo" sits at No. 6 on Billboard's latest Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.

U2 plans to support the new album with a world tour next year.
