Description

U2 - ONE TREE HILL - Australian Memorial release 1988 with lyric sheet insert (K338)

This first pressing of  U2  7" vinyl single 'One Tree Hill' was released in both Australia and New Zealand only as the replacement single to In God's Country which was released with the same sleeve in other parts of the world.( Subsequent Aus pressings had a plain cover)
Released by island and Festival Records  as a memorial to U2 roadie Greg Carroll.

Text on back cover:
TO THE MEMORY OF GREG CARROLL 1960-1986

This background info is from the U2 FAQ site:
''Greg Carroll was a New Zealand Maori who U2 met in Auckland in 1984, while they were in New Zealand for the Unforgettable Fire tour. Greg had been involved in the New Zealand music industry since 1980, and worked for U2's promoter during the Auckland shows. He had a reputation for being an extremely hard worker and a valuable asset to the local industry.On the 3rd of July, 1986, on a bleak and rainy Dublin night, Greg was out riding a motorbike when he collided with a drunk driver and was killed. Greg's death devastated the entire U2 organisation. During the two years that Greg had been working for U2, he'd formed many close friendships - but his bond with Bono was said to be especially unique.Bono and Larry, along with many of Greg's friends and U2 associates, accompanied his body back to New Zealand. The group attended Greg's tangi (a traditional Maori wake, lasting three days) at Kai-iwi Marae, close to his hometown of Wanganui. On his return to Dublin, Bono wrote the song "One Tree Hill" and later dedicated the album on which it appeared, The Joshua Tree, to Greg.''


With an additional insert containing the lyrics to 'One Tree Hill' printed on a picture of One Tree Hill (located in Auckland, New Zealand) with this text at the bottom: (Greg Carroll's Funeral, Wanganui, New Zealand, 10th July 1986)
This lyric sheet was previously mounted, so the front looks in very good condition, but the back of the paper has damage where it had sticky tape.
(shown in additional picture)
The single is in Very good condition, with the usual corner scuffs commensurate with age and shelf storage of vinyl.
I haven't had a record player for 10 years so can't play it.

side A (45rpm) One tree hill
Side B( 33 1/3rd rpm) Bullet the blue sky AND Running to stand still
