| LINER NOTES |
| Produced by Steve Lillywhite. |
| OTHER NOTES |
| A curiousity to say the least. A Celebration was released
by itself as a 7" single in the spring of 1982. The song itself would
never appear on a U2 album. A promotional video accompanied the song's
release. The b-side had been a song performed live since the early
days of U2. It continued to be performed live into 2001's Elevation
tour. "Party Girl" as it became known, was also featured on 1983's
Under
a Blood Red Sky Live EP and the studio version would later appear on
the Best of 1980 - 1990 B-Sides disc. "A
Celebration" has not been re-released in any form by U2 itself, although
it has appeared on a few compilations over the years, including the Now
That's What I Call Music 1982 Compilation, produced in 1999 in the
UK. |
