Three (EP)
Encyclopedia : T : TH : THR : Three (EP)
Three was U2's first release, a three-song EP recorded and released in 1979 (see 1979 in music). It was produced by the band with Chas de Whalley and only available in Ireland at the time of its release.
It received an initial run of 1,000 individually numbered copies. It has been reissued a few times since then, but it remains a hard item to track down and has never been released on CD. The track listing was determined by a listener poll on Dave Fanning's radio show. Callers chose "Out Of Control" to be the A-side of the record.
The band followed Three with singles for "Another Day", "11 O'Clock Tick Tock", "A Day Without Me", and "I Will Follow" before releasing their first album, Boy, in 1980.
The first verse of the song "Stories For Boys" is sometimes used as a snippet in the live version of U2's more recent song Vertigo.
