Description
U2 “Boy” – Original Cover Version ILPS 9646 (i)
Very nice collectible. This is the earliest UK/European version with the boy cover (though the country is not specified) and photo label on both sides of the record. According to U2Wanderer:
Boy was U2's first album length release. It was released on October 20, 1980 in Europe and the UK. This initial release was with the original "Boy" cover pictured above. The album was released the next spring in North America, but with a very different cover, often referred to as the "Stretched Faces" cover. The [Island] label had felt that the American public would not approve of an album cover by an unknown band, that featured a boy with no visible clothing. Obviously the opinion would change as in 1983, War was released with a very similar cover.
Vinyl in excellent condition – pretty much perfect. Jacket has just light shelf/edge wear. Inner jacket is the heavy cardboard version – in great shape. Please see photos.
