'''''Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 3''''' is an Irish charity two-disc album featuring a variety of artists performing [[Acoustic music|acoustic]] [[cover version|cover]]s. Despite the title of the series being taken from a [[U2]] song, the previous albums did not contain any U2 covers. This third, two-disc volume departs from this and is entirely composed of U2 songs, many of them by artists who recorded covers for [[Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 1|volume one]] or [[Even Better than the Real Thing Vol. 2|volume two]].<ref>https://www.hotpress.com/music/even-better-than-the-real-thing-vol-3-2789588 </ref> |
|||
It was released in 2005 by RMG Chart Entertainment Ltd., and like the other albums, most of the songs were recorded "live and acoustic" on ''[[The Ray D'Arcy Show]]'' on [[Today FM]]. Proceeds from the album were donated to the [[United Nations Children's Fund|UNICEF]] [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake|Tsunami]] relief fund.<ref>https://www.rte.ie/entertainment/music-reviews/2005/0418/449264-evenbettervol3/ </ref> |
