| OTHER NOTES |
| The first single from U2 is the start of many a collector's
nightmare as they try to find a copy of it. For more information, please
refer to the following column of "Collector's
Corner" by Matt McGee of @U2. This single was initially only available
as a limited pressing by CBS Ireland. As U2's popularity grew it has been
reissued numerous times. Although Out of Control and Stories for Boys both
appeared later on Boy, these versions are different
recordings of those songs. |

| Further Information: |
| 1981 fourth pressing, re-release in plain black sleeve,
and without the numbered sticker. U-2 is in the thinner style type. Ireland
is mispelled on the label and the band's names are etched only on the b-side
of the vinyl. There may have been more than one pressing done like this
as there are subtle label variations to be found among these copies, most
noticibly where the "Made in England" label is placed. |
