![]() ![]() The clip by itself has never been collected on any U2 compilation to date, although the complete “Outside It’s America” documentary was included on the DVD accompanying the super deluxe reissue of The Joshua Tree in 2007. ![]() The other members of U2 do not appear in the video. The video concludes with Bono in a black leather hat and vest singing the song in what appears to be a deserted manufacturing facility. Additional footage includes city lights in colour and famous United States locations such as the Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, and Times Square. Later, “One Tree Hill” would be released as a single in Australia and New Zealand, using the same cover design and B-sides as “In God’s Country.”Ī video, directed by Barry Devlin, was filmed for the song but was only used in the MTV-produced documentary “Outside It’s America.” Footage of Bono, decked out in denim and performing the song in a darkened room on acoustic guitar, is intercut with archival images from the 1930s and 40s of children, miners, steel factories, and soldiers in black-and-white. All formats included the album version of “In God’s Country” along with the album versions of “Bullet the Blue Sky” and “Running to Stand Still.” The lack of new material may have contributed toward the lower sales of this release compared to the previous three singles from The Joshua Tree, all of which contained a healthy amount of non-album B-side material. The 12-inch vinyl version was limited to 10,000 copies, according to various sources. In Canada, the single was again issued on all three formats. The single was issued only on 7-inch vinyl in the United States, whereas the previous singles from The Joshua Tree had been available on 12-inch and cassette as well. The image of Bono was the same across all formats of the single, unlike a couple of the previous singles, which used different portraits depending on the format. The sleeve is similar to the other singles from The Joshua Tree, with a black-and-white photo of Bono by Anton Corbijn surrounded by black borders and gold accents. It did, however, manage to chart in the UK as an import single. It had limited chart success and limited airplay compared to the previous three singles from the album. In November, 1987 “In God’s Country” was released as the fourth single from The Joshua Tree, but in North America only.
