Catalog No.: 12-7951
Release: 1979
Cover: CBS Sleeve with hand-numbered sticker.
Label: Ireland is spelled correctly. The band's members names, the word ‘BANG’ along with the catalogue number ‘CBS-12-7951’ appear on both sides of the record near the label in the dead wax. “Made in England” on bottom. Bold typeface for “U2” with a short dash between U and 2. Stereo is written in big letters (STEREO). No CBS inc. on the label. First version of copyright on both sides.
Sticker: Hand-numbered by Jackie Hayden. All copies have either black or blue ink numbers.
There exist several editions of the 12" U2-3 single, but only the first one is stickered. Some quite rare copies exist without the sticker, as a result of over production. 6 editions are confirmed. And the 7th pressing could be a mispress.
" The idea for the numbered limited edition for U23 occurred to me after observing that there were fans of, say, paintings, who would buy a numbered print so that they would have a unique item that nobody else had.I thought U2 were so special their records should be treated with the same individual importance.
I decided to number them myself because there was considerable antagonism from CBS UK towards the Irish office putting out any Irish records at all, and they had already turned down U2 after hearing the tracks that were released on U23!
As for the two pens, I can't remember why. Maybe the first pen got lost or was used up or somebody else in the office took it. It was over 30 years ago, so it's hard to remember, but there's no significance to it anyway.
Yes, I still own number 1000 and I have a copy of the pre-release white label test pressing for the record of which only 4/6 would have been pressed.
Number 1 probably went to the record shop who initially ordered the most copies. "
