Notes

Released with "All Rights Of The Producer...." mentioned on labels.
This release has a short (approximately 30 seconds) unlisted and uncredited track at the end of the second side after "Shadows and Tall Trees." The track is not separated into its own band on the vinyl though it is visibly discernible.
This is early UK press with inner sleeve with converging corners. Square corners can be found here: U2 - Boy
