U2 Live Under a Blood Red Sky LP 1983 US 1st Press UNEDITED 5:18 Electric Co NM
Up for sale is an exceptional, investment-grade copy of U2's iconic 1983 live mini-album, "Live Under a Blood Red Sky." This is a highly sought-after U.S. original first pressing, completely verified by its definitive runout matrix details.
THE HOLY GRAIL "SEND IN THE CLOWNS" UNEDITED VERSION
This specific copy features the legendary, rare 5:18 version of "The Electric Co." on Side Two (clearly printed on the label and present in the audio). Shortly after its initial 1983 release, the album was legally challenged by Stephen Sondheim due to Bono singing an unauthorized 27-second snippet of "Send in the Clowns." Island Records settled out of court and immediately pulled this version, replacing all subsequent pressings with a truncated 4:51 edited track. This original unedited pressing is a true collector's piece.
