"U2–Three" Out of Control

1st Pressing #464 of 1,000

This is an original U2 Three EP from the first printing in October of 1979. The first printing was limited to only 1,000 copies, all individually numbered in either blue or black ink. All were sold or given away in Ireland by members of the band. They are as result, incredibly rare.

In the 12'' Vinyl, there were a total of 6 printings. This vinyl is from the first printing. There are notable differences between the 1st edition, and 2nd-6th editions. 2 thru 6 have have misspelled Ireland as "Irelnad", and have Stereo printed as "Stereo", with only the "S" capitalized. Of course 2 thru 6 lack the white sticker on the record sleeve denoting the limited edition and individual number. On all 6 printings, the band's names are etched into the dead wax just below the label. However, on editions 1-3 the etchings are found on both sides of the record.

On the original 1st printing only, Ireland is spelled correctly as "Ireland". Stereo is written in all caps "STEREO", and U2 is bolded "U-2". The band made it very easy to distinguish between the original edition and the subsequent common editions.

This is number 464 of the 1000 records from U2's first ever record printing. This is the basically the start of U2's discography and exposure to world. Hold and touch it, and it feels like you are holding the beginning of U2, one of the greatest bands of all time. This is a centerpiece for any U2 collection. It deserves to be in the hands of a true U2 collector.
