U2 – Wide Awake In America (EP, 1985, Island Records A1-90279)

Why This Record Matters
Wide Awake In America captures U2's mid-1980s rise with live versions of "Bad" and "A Sort Of Homecoming" alongside two non-album studio tracks. The release bridges The Unforgettable Fire era and the band's global breakthrough period.

Collector Note
1985 US Columbia House Carrollton pressing on Island Records. Matrix/runout inscriptions match the Carrollton club edition variant and confirm an original-era US pressing.
