U2 Reissue, Expand First Three Albums
U2 will follow the trend they set with the 2007 reissue of possibly their most beloved album, The Joshua Tree, by remastering, expanding, and reissuing their first three full-lengths, 1980's Boy, 1981's October, and 1983's War. The reissues will come in three formats-- single CD, double CD with a bonus disc of rarities, and vinyl-- on July 22 via Universal. All contain new packaging, new liner notes, rare photos, and full lyrics.
In other U2 news, Billboard.com reports that the band is currently working on a new album, rumored to be released later this year on Interscope. Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois are in the producers' chairs. And they will probably be coming to a Live Nation venue near you sometime in the near future.
