Boy, October, War: Remastered

20 Apr 2008
U2's first three albums have been remastered and will be released by Universal on July 21st. Following the remastered release of The Joshua Tree last year, Edge has overseen a remastering of Boy (1980), October (1981) and War (1983). All of which have been remastered from the original audio tapes.


Each album will be released as a standard single disc, a deluxe double version including a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and an LP version pressed on 180gm virgin vinyl.

The packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics. More details as we get them.
