Summary
In this all new expanded Boy episode released in tandem with our new U2 Origin Story episode, we pick up the story after U2 pulls off the big rouse at their now legendary gig at the National Stadium in Dublin that gets them signed to Island Records. We go over why they turn from Joy Division producer Martin Hannett and pivot to Steve Lillywhite to produce Boy. We cover Lillywhite's crucial contributions to the Boy sessions and go through all the tracks. We cover the controversy over the album artwork and themes of the record and the seminal moments of the band's first world tour. From the outside, everything appears copacetic, but inside, pressure from the Shalom Group starts to splinter the Lypton Village and the three Christians of U2 try and reconcile rock and roll and their faith.
