Notes
All the first press and promotional copies of the first UK singles "11 O'clock Tick Tock" (05/1980), "A Day Without Me" (08/1980) and "I Will Follow" (10/80) have the rim text on bottom labels that start with "Emi Records Ltd.".
This text was changed to "All Rights of the Producer..." later, supposedly in 1981.
For the above reasons, UK copies of Boy with rim text on labels that start with "Emi Records Ltd." are the earliest.
Debut Album Released LP/MC 10-80 Reached #52

Reviews
-
Nice pressing. Sounds is full and plenty of bottom end. Some shrill, harsh highs, but nothing to get worked up about. Essential for U2 fans. The start of an incredible run of records. -
referencing Boy (LP, Album, EMI Rim Text) ILPS 9646
Why won't Discogs let me add my original early copy (i.e. 'EMI Records Ltd' on rim) to collection? Very frustrating
-
referencing Boy (LP, Album, Reissue) ISL 9646
I have this one but with labels that are mostly orange. Must be an unlisted version. -
referencing Boy (LP, Album) 10.202913.50
got this version according to matrix runout but side B does not contain any of the songtitles. Just the island logo -
referencing Boy (LP, Album, Reissue, Stereo) 10.202913.50
Very bad pressing, sounds terrible. Volume levels go up and down throughout. Cannot listen to this. Avoid! -
referencing Boy (LP, Album, Stereo) 500 9646
This pressing sounds awful, volume levels keep going up and down. It‘s impossible to enjoy. Avoid all Porutguese pressings! -

Great pressing! The rhythm section really clocks in on this one. -
referencing Boy (LP, Album, Stereo) 202 913-320
Intimate sound. Guitar sounds phenomenal. Comes right out of the guitar amp. Near perfect bass. Xylophone lifelike. Drums okay (could be better). Vocals great! -
Great pressing, great dynamics. Certanly a go-to copy, if you see it, take it
