Boy is the debut album by Irish rock band U2. It was released on 20 October 1980 by Island Records and was produced by Steve Lillywhite. Boy contains many songs from the band's 40-song catalogue at the time, including two tracks that were re-recorded from their original versions on their debut release, the EP Three. Boy was recorded from July to September 1980 at Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios, which became U2's chosen recording location during the 1980s.

Boy is a phenomenal first album, written by a group of boys for an audience larger than they could ever imagine. To listen to these youngsters coming up with those sounds and lyrics was amazing! My favourite has always been Out of Control.

Группы U2. 1980 - Boy. 1981 - October. 1983 - War. 1984 - The Unforgettable Fire. 1987 - The Joshua Tree. 1988 - Rattle and Hum. 1991 - Achtung Baby.

After having Steve Lillywhite produce their first three albums, U2 looked for a more sophisticated and experimental sound. They hired Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno to produce "The Unforgettable Fire" and "The Joshua Tree" albums, which both put them onto the charts all over the world.

The album Boy was remastered and released on July 21, 2008 in the UK, with a North American release the following day. At the same time, October and War were also released, and a special three-pack was issued in the USA. The remastered versions were issued on 12-inch vinyl, standard format (one disc) and deluxe format (two 5-inch CDs).

U2 have been slammed by the iconic boy who featured on three of their album covers over their stance on abortion. 5. Peter Rowan has blasted U2 over their abortion stance.

Boy is a U2 album without the ego-without any preaching or presumptions of saving the world. Bono, barely out of his teens, sounds raw and urgent. The Edge's riffs are spiky and harsher than we're used to.
