Release
"Another Day" was produced by Chas deWhalley and U2 at CBS London, December 1979. The single was only released in Ireland and since it did not appear on any album or other CD pressing until the 2008 reissue of Boy, it was long considered a rarity in U2's catalogue. The B-side was an early demo of "Twilight," which was later re-recorded for its appearance on Boy and was regularly played live until 1984.
Live
The song is known to have been played at six concerts (twice on 11 May 1980, for a total of 7 occasions). Its last known performance was on 27 July 1980 at Leixlip Castle, County Kildare, Ireland.
