U2 To Celebrate Record Store Day With Limited Edition ‘A Celebration’ Vinyl EP

Island Records and UMe have announced the 40th-anniversary release of U2‘s A Celebration, a limited edition 12″ vinyl EP, on Record Store Day.

U2 released “A Celebration” as a non-album single in March 1982, between the records October (1981) and War (1983).

This 40th-anniversary limited-edition reissue is a 4-track EP containing two previously unreleased recordings. The first is a studio out-take of the title track. The second is a performance of b-side and live favorite “Trash, Trampoline And The Party Girl,” recorded live in October 2015 in Köln, Germany during the iNNOCENCE + eXPERIENCE tour.

The 4 track 12″ EP, cut at 45 rpm, is pressed on 180g black vinyl. The back cover features stills of the rock band from the video directed by Meiert Avis.
