10 October, 2020 Best Christmas present ever
I got Boy for Christmas in December 1980 after my boyfriend recorded it onto a cassette from his copy of Boy which he bought when it was released. My mum didn’t have much money at the time and I said that as long as I got Boy I didn’t need anything else for Christmas. I was fifteen years old at the time. Boy has been simply the most played album that I have ever owned as it was constantly played from the moment I unwrapped it on Christmas Day. That album has been one of my most treasured possessions as it takes me back to the days of sitting on the floor in my bedroom constantly playing a Boy on my record player as a teenager. I still own that copy of Boy and forty years later at the age of fifty five I’m still as much in love with U2’s music as I was then. I still regard Boy as one of my best Christmas presents ever.

09 October, 2020 Bono's voice was like a girl,
Edge his gitar was like an agresive pitbull,
Larry's drum kit was like a second hand pan set,
Adam's hear was out of contole and by myself:
I was 8 years old and did not the EXIST of U2 what became
the loudest band on Earth and will be my favorit band till I die.
Love and light,

I received a promo copy to review as I worked in the music business when Boy was released. I loved what I heard so much that the stylus skipped on the LP as I jumped up & down with joy! Needless to say, it received a stellar review & I have been a massive fan ever since that day! ❤️⏺️

Gli U2 arrivarono come un pugno nello stomaco nella discografia mondiale. Comprai il disco nel 1995 quando. fui folgorato da The Unforgettable Fire. Che dire? Of o volta che riascolto i primi album sento sempre un'emozione diversa. Sono pezzi immortali

Here's the image of the tiny stiletto dent left by my then girlfriend in 1986,..
Why would my 16 year old self, leave the cover just lying on the floor?!

I actually got this LP when it came out, although I didn´t buy it myself. We used to live in Brasil back then, and when my mother came home from visiting her parents in Europe she brought me "BOY" as a present.
She said : "your uncle saw them play at Pinkpop last month and he thinks they might actually become something.." how right he was !!! And I´ve been a fan since then :-)
