I should have bought the"real" cd when I was in London, but I had already spent waaay too much on other cds. Oh well. Should have gotten the UK strokes cd too...much better cover.

I wanted the Boy CD, but I didn't want it with the band on the cover. So when my sister went to Canada, I made her promise to look around for a copy with the original cover. She found it. I think I just might buy an Irish pressing while in Ireland though...

I have both cds, but my vinyl copy is the one with the band on it...
Something I noticed though. My canadian cd (with band on cover) counts the tracks An Cat Dubh/ Into The Heart as one. Meaning that the cd has 10 tracks. My copy with the little boy (Peter Rowan ??) on the cover, however counts An Cat Dubh/ Into The Heart as two seperate songs, the cd has 11 tracks. Anyone else noticed something similar ? How many tracks on your Boy cds ?

They are exactly the same, the only diferences are in the booklet.

Gee...I had no idea it was so difficult for North Americans to get the one with the boy on the cover.
I have 3 copies, 2 LPs and 1 CD, all of them with the boy.

I have both but I also have another one that's a cardboard tri-fold. It's got the picture of the band on the cover.

I don't think that I've ever seen the one with the boy on the cover. Is it the same boy that is on the cover of War? I obviously have the stretched heads cover, can anybody that has the boy post a pic of it?

When I was in North Carolina last week, I saw the CD of boy with the boy on the cover for 14 bucks, but i didn't buy it (I backed into an RV the weekend before and I have to pay for a new rear light cover thingy, saving money). I was kinda surprised; it wasn't even labeled as an import.

I can't find this cover around here. I tried ebay and they have some LP covers with the boy! I want the CD though!!

Ditto! haha... my younger sister stumbled across the original Boy 12" album with the Boy on the cover at a used music store. She probably didn't pay more than $3 for it. Now it hangs on our wall.
We also have the 2nd cover (with U2's faces on the front)... in both CD and vinyl.
