It was occasionally performed as a rare treat during The Elevation Tour in 2001. “11 O’Clock Tick Tock” was played consistently not only at early shows, but through to the end of The Unforgettable Fire Tour-sometimes even being played twice in the same concert! Since that time, the song has made only infrequent appearances in the live set. “Touch” was played during many early shows and throughout The Boy Tour, but has not been performed since. The songs were not forgotten, though, as both formed a part of U2’s live set. Neither song was re-recorded for Boy when that album was put together later in 1980, and in fact they have not appeared on any U2 studio album. These two songs represent the band’s only work with Martin Hannett. Worried that Hannett would draw more attention than the band itself, U2 would choose to work with Steve Lillywhite as producer going forward. It, too, was based on an earlier song, called “Trevor,” that later morphed into “Touch.” Both songs were recorded in early April, 1980 at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. (In fact, U2 was meeting with Hannett in studio on the same day Joy Division was recording their signature song, “Love Will Tear Us Apart” and witnessed those recording sessions.) “Touch,” the b-side to “11 O’Clock Tick Tock,” was recorded during the same session. Hannett had become a hot producer at the time, having worked with OMD and Joy Division. Upon signing their contract with Island Records, U2 entered the studio with a new producer, Martin Hannett, to record “11 O’Clock Tick Tock” as their next single. “11 O’Clock Tick Tock” first took shape as a song called “Silver Lining,” developed during live dates in 19. U2 would also tour on this single throughout the UK and Ireland, embarking on The 11 O’Clock Tick Tock Tour on the 22nd of May. Both of these initial pressings were released on 7-inch black vinyl only. CBS Records, who would continue to hold U2’s contract in Ireland for the next few years, released the single in that country (on May 16, 1980), while Island issued the single in the UK (on the following week, May 23). “11 O’Clock Tick Tock” was the first single released by U2 outside of Ireland, and also the first release under the band’s new contract with Island Records.
