| OTHER NOTES |
| I Will Follow was the second single released from the album
Boy
and has held it's place in history much better than the first single released,
A
Day Without Me. I Will Follow continues to be a song played live
on a regular basis including 2001's Elevation tour.
The single was initially released in Europe, and also became the first
single released outside of Europe when it was released in 1981 in North
America and Australasia. These 1981 releases featured different artwork
than the European single. The North American version featured an
alternate B-Side recorded in the United States shortly before the release
date of the single. Some of the copies in North America featured
a fold out picture sleeve which looked different on the shelf and folder
out into a 6 panel poster.
I Will Follow was also released as a live single on two occasions.
In 1982 it was released in the Netherlands.
In 1983 it was released to promote the live
EP Under a Blood Red Sky in North America.
It has also appeared on Hasta La Vista Baby which
was a fan club only CD documenting 1997's Popmart Tour. In 2001 it
was also released on several items: The Elevation
Single / Sunday Times Promo CD as performed at
Irving Plaza in New York in 2000. It also appeared on the Best
Buy Promo CD which featured the song recorded live in Boston during
2001's Elevation tour. |
