format: vinyl (1985 reissue)
[single rate: 3,5 / 5] [3,52]
producer: Steve Lillywhite
label: Island Records - nationality: Ireland
Tracklist: A) 1. "Fire" - 2. "J. Swallow" - - B) 1. "11 O'clock Tick Tock" - 2. "The Ocean"
Single release by U2, which feels like a rather redundant one, as both "Fire" and "The Ocean" are found on the forthcoming album October, and the track "11 O'clock Tick Tock" is taken from the debut. The only new composition here is "J. Swallow", and it's simply not up there on level with the band's album songs.
