                                                                                            U2 WITH OR WITHOUT YOU

 

                                     ORIGINAL 1987 UK TOWNHOUSE I SIDED 7" ACETATE


 

"With or Without You" has become one of U2's most well-known songs, and it often appears in music critics' rankings of the best songs of all-time.

Bono wrote the lyrics while struggling to reconcile his responsibilities as both a married man and a musician. The band's manager Paul McGuinness was resistant to U2 releasing "With or Without You" as a single, as he thought it was too sonically unusual for release. Gavin Friday, (Bono's friend) having helped the band complete the track, disagreed and thought it would be a "certain No. 1" The song was selected as the lead single from The Joshua Tree. This acetate was cut at the Townhouse Studios on 2-3-87.  The single was released some 3 weeks later
