Just love early U2, what an amazing musical journey they have made, from a few people at their early gigs to an average audience of 70 000 from 1987 onwards, no band has achieved what they have, the secret is great studio records and stellar live shows, from the stripped down early sets through to Zoo Tv, Pop, and now 360, best band ever
.. the boys changed the names of a couple tracks in the early days ... I know this eventually became "Touch". Also "Fire" was once entitled "Saturday Night"
As mentioned below when this was recorded as a b-side for 11 O'Clock on the chorus Bono sang Edge's backing vocal here "t-t-t-touching you" and the Edge played the melody "Trevor lives forever" and it was renamed "Touch" This one rocks by comparison...
You guys are welcome! :) This is a rare find and I hunt all kinds of rare U2 songs and memorabilia from them. U2 is my all time favorite band,I have loved them for years now,and I`m going to a concert in October!

I can tell this song became Touch, but this version is better.

This recording is slower and thus lower in pitch than they actually did this. It should be a little faster/higher pitch to be in Dsharp/Eflat.
