SOUNDTRACK4LIFE: THE B-SIDES: Rewind: 1979

Today marks a special day in the life of U2. On this day in 1979 U2 released their very first record, an EP titled 'Three'. With an initial run of 1,000 individually numbered copies the tracks were produced by the band with Chas de Whalley and was available only in Ireland.

It's sometimes hard to believe that the same band that released this little three-track EP would in years to come become one of the biggest bands in the world. Click on the links to enjoy the music.
