It is being reported that a 20th anniversary edition of U2’s Joshua Tree will be released December 10, 2007
For many fans of the band this is seen as their best album. Many critics also have named this one of U2’s top albums and some have placed it on their top albums of all time lists (RollingStone named it #26 )
For fans like me it will give me chance to remember that time in my life and the impact that U2’s music had.
It is reported to be coming out in three different editions.
* A digitally re-mastered standard album in a ’super’ jewel case with a 24-page booklet.
* A deluxe edition to include a 5″ hardcover book with two wallets (at front and back) to hold two CDs (the remastered album + rarities) and the 24-page booklet.
* A limited edition to contain everything in the deluxe edtion, plus one DVD of a Paris show from The Joshua Tree tour.
This was the one album that took U2 to absolute super
stardom, and one hell of a killer record too Although the original album i personally thought production wise was
very lame and to be quite honest poor, but the music alone is still quite amazing, it looks as though the “New Edition” will be around late December. It’s great to have choices, most likely the 3 disc edition will be the way to go, similar to, without a dvd , Def Leppard’s “Hysteria”
20th Anniversary cd, looking forward to it immensely.
