1982

U2 rested briefly at the beginning of the year before A Celebration was released. Their attention was then focussed on a string of European Festival dates through the summer. Holland received U2 particularly well and a live version of I Will Follow was released recorded at a Dutch television show. Towards the end of the year CBS Eire released a limited edition collection of four early singles titled 4 U2 Play.

Now this is more like it! Cool, enigmatic and... gives you a headache if you look at it for too long. Doubtless responsible for many a youngster throwing up while browsing the racks at Woolworth.

A unique release featuring a live version of "I Will Follow" recorded in Holland on the A-side and a cover shot taken at Werchter.

"4 U2 Play"

4 U2 Play - four single pack, comprising:
U2 Three - CBS7951
Another Day/Twilight - CBS8306
11 O'Clock Tick Tock/Touch - SCBS8687
I Will Follow/Boy-Girl (live) - CBS9065

This set of black vinyl reissues each feature single colour orange paper labels. Released in 1982, the set was originally pressed on coloured vinyl, but there is little consistency in the colours used. There are subtle differences between the sleeves of the originals and the reissues. The main difference appears to be that the originals have the two-colour yellow/orange CBS paper label, but I have also seen purported reissues with the same.
