U2 ORIG OZ Promo LP Boy EX '80 Island L37517 Post Punk Bono The Edge
Original 1st Press OZ Promo LP released in 1980 on Island Records. Cat: L37517. Comes with printed lyric inner bag which has some light marks and is in VG+ condition. Features promo sticker on label and back of cover.
From the outset, U2 went for the big message every song on their debut album Boy sounds huge, with oceans of processed guitars cascading around Bono's impassioned wail. It was an inspired combination of large, stadium-rock beats and post-punk textures. Without the Edge's echoed, ringing guitar, U2 would have sounded like a traditional hard rock band, since the rhythm section and Bono treat each song as an anthem. Of course, that's the charm of Boy: all of its emotions are on the surface, delivered with optimistic, youthful self-belief, yet the unusual, distinctive guitar textures give it an unexpected tension that makes it an exhilarating debut.
