Demo Song
Background Information
“Hang Up!” is a title of one of the songs that U2 likely worked on in their earliest demo session in April 1978 at Keystone Studios. The song has not had many mentions over the years, however, it was mentioned as an early demo title in issue 12 of the U2 World Service Magazine.
We have taken an in depth look at U2’s pre-Island Records demo sessions in two parts. Part One dealt with 1978 – February 1979. Part Two dealt with the latter part of 1979 until early 1980. “Hang Up!” is discussed in Part One.
