One Tree Hill

Single AU 1988 on Island Records label
Rock (Pop Rock)

One Tree Hill was released in both Australia and New Zealand only as the replacement single to In God's Country which was released with the same sleeve in other parts of the world. Text on back cover: TO THE MEMORY OF GREG CARROLL 1960-1986 Came with an insert containing the lyrics to One Tree Hill printed on a picture of One Tree Hill (located in Auckland, New Zealand) with this text at the bottom: (Greg Carroll's Funeral, Wanganui, New Zealand, 10th July 1986) Track times not listed on the release. All tracks are the album versions from "The Joshua Tree" Side A: 45RPM Side B: 33RPM. The main differences between the Aus/NZ sleeves are: Front cover - The swipe bar above "U2" on the Australian release is gold, on the New Zealand release is it white Rear cover - Catalogue number (upper right hand corner) on the Australian release reads K-338, on the New Zealand release it reads 878302-7 - Distributor (bottom right corner) on Australian release shows Festival Records, on the New Zealand release is shows Polygram - Island logo (bottom right corner) on the Australian release is the "i" palm, on the New Zealand release it's the palm tree circle - On the middle marketing info on the bottom of the New Zealand release it should read "Marketed in Australasia by Polygram Records Pty Ltd under exclusive licence. Made in New Zealand" This release is often mis-described as being New Zealand only when it was released in both NZ and Australia in March 1988. There was more than one pressing of the single as later pressings came in a plain Island sleeve after the picture sleeve prints were exhausted. it is possible that the first pressing was identical in both countries, but as the demand was greater in NZ, where it went to No.1, the unique sleeve was used.
