(hennemusic) U2 are streaming a lyric video for the unreleased track, "Levitate", ahead of its inclusion on a series of expanded 20th anniversary reissues of their 2000 album, "All That You Can't Leave Behind."

An outtake from the original recording sessions for the record, the song is featured in the 2020 Super Deluxe edition of the project, which will be issued in multiple formats on October 30.

The Irish band's tenth studio record was a Top 10 hit in several countries, excluding the US, where it stalled at No. 52 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The record went on to sell more than 12 million copies and win 7 Grammy Awards while becoming the only album in history to have multiple tracks win Record Of The Year ("Beautiful Day" in 2001 and "Walk On" in 2002).

The multi-format 20th anniversary series will be available in Standard, Deluxe, and Super Deluxe editions on CD, alongside vinyl, and digital versions that will feature a new 12-track remaster of the record and include an additional track, "The Ground Beneath Her Feet", in all formats.

The expanded deluxe editions include highlights from a 4-night run at The Fleet Center in Boston, MA in June of 2001, while a 51-track Super Deluxe box set adds much more, including bonus tracks, B-sides, studio outtakes, remixes and a 32-page hardback book from longtime friend and collaborator Anton Corbijn.
