    BOY is still my favourite U2 album by a mile. The Face was lifeline to what was going on in the world of music and fashion, and I probably would never have moved to London in the 80s without it’s influence. Recently bought a few old copies on eBay and am enjoying wallowing in memory lane … thanks for posting this 🙂

    Thanks Pete, glad you liked. Really glad my brother Eamonn kept all the early issues.
