LINER NOTES
Billy Boola:  Written by Gavin Friday, Maurice Seezer, and Bono.  Produced by Tim Simenon and Gavin Friday.  All titles:  Blue Mountain Music Ltd.
OTHER NOTES
Bono growing up was close friends with a lad who went by the name Gavin Friday.  To this day Gavin remains a friend, and a close confidant of Bono.  Gavin also has his own solo career in the music business, getting his start with the Virgin Prunes when Bono was getting started with U2.  On Gavin's third album, Shag Tobacco, Bono and The Edge stopped by to provide backing vocals on "Little Black Dress".

This single was released from that album.  But it is not the song which contains the backing vocals by Bono and The Edge.  Instead, this release is listed here because of the fourth track on the single, "Billy Boola".  That song was written for use in the movie In the Name of the Father, and is performed by Gavin and Bono.  On this recording, it is listed as the "Tim Simenon Movie Mix".  This mix is the same mix that is found on the soundtrack album.  It is the same length and listening to the two side by side, one cannot hear any audible difference between the two.

Other formats of the single, including the commercially released 12" vinyl, did not contain "Billy Boola" but instead had another mix of the title track which had no U2 appearances.
