1981 Sophomore Album On 180g Cream Colored Vinyl LP!
Includes The Singles "Gloria" & "Fire"!

October, originally with the working title of Scarlet, was released in the summer of 1981. In several countries, October was re-issued on 5" CD in March 1996 as part of the Island Master series. In Argentina, a promotional copy of October was released   with the title Is That All?, title of the last track on the album. The album peaked at No.11 on the UK album charts during its first week of release. Conversely, it never cracked the Top 100 on the US album charts and didn't rise higher than No.104   where it was certified platinum by the RIAA. UK magazine New Musical Express voted the album No.4 in its annual poll.

"October was the most difficult of the three records I did with them basically because of the well-chronicled story of Bono losing his lyrics during the American tour. The fact that the first album had a bit of success in America meant that the band toured over there for a long time to do the groundwork. When they came back and it was time to do the second album, nothing was ready!"-   Steve Lillywhite in Propaganda 5
