| 11 O'Clock Tick Tock features two
songs which have never appeared on a U2 album. Even though
it has never appeared on an album, 11 O'Clock Tick Tock
continued to be a staple of live performances for years to come.
A performance of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock appeared on 1983's live EP
Under a Blood
Red Sky.
This was the first single released on Island
Records, which would be the record company which would release
all of the albums and singles outside of Ireland. CBS
continued to release U2's music within Ireland at this point.
This single was also the first and only
single which was produced by Martin Hannett. Hannett left
his mark on the music world producing artists such as Joy
Division / New Order, OMD, and the Happy Mondays. U2's
Hannett produced work has appeared on two compilations: Martin
and Here is the Young Man.
