Debut studio album by the Irish rock group, originally released in 1980. 'Boy' was recorded at Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios, which became U2's chosen recording location during th e 1980s. It was their first time working with Steve Lillywhite, who employed unorthodox production techniques such as recording Mullen's drums in a stairwell, and recording smashed bottles and forks played against a spinning bicycle wheel. Thematically, the album's lyrics reflect on adolescence, innocence, and the passage into adulthood, themes represented on its cover through the photo of a young boy's face. The album features the single 'I Will Follow'.Track Listing:1. I Will Follow - U2 (3.37)2. Twilight - U2 (4.22)3. An Cat Dubh - U2 (4.46)4. Into the Heart - U2 (3.27)5. Out of Control - U2 (4.14)6.
