U2: Out of Control
On September 26, 1979 U2 released its debut EP Three in Ireland. All 1,000 copies , released on orange vinyl, were sold almost immediately and have become a collector's item. The ten minute record has three songs on it, all recorded as demos with producer Chas de Whalley at Windmill Lane Studios, marking the first of what would be many recordings there by the band during their career.
"Out of Control" was written by Bono on his 18th birthday."(It's) about waking up on your eighteenth birthday and realizing that you're 18 years old and that the 2 most important decisions in your life have nothing to do with you - being born and dying." Like (Stories for) "Boys" it was rerecorded for U2's debut album, Boy. The third track is "Boy/Girl", a song the band often played live from late 1979 until the end of the Boy tour sometime in 1981.
within a year, U2 could not be ignored. They would soon become on of the biggest bands in the world. There is a copy of this EP on eBay with a price tag equivalent to $436.
