OTHER NOTES
A Day Without Me marked the beginning of U2's album promotional career.  It was the first single from the album Boy. It also was the first release to feature different songs released in different markets, as the single available in Ireland and the UK featured a different track listing than what was featured in France.  A Day Without Me and I Will Follow are both the same version which is found on Boy.

The release also featured different cover art in Germany and the Netherlands.  The cover pictured is the German release.  The version released in the Netherlands features small arrows on either side of the title on the cover rather than the small circles featured on the German release.  There are no other apparant differences between these two sleeves.
Previous Single:  11 O'Clock Tick Tock  (1980)
Next Single:  I Will Follow (1980)
