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.

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.
