U2 Beef Up Joshua Tree for 20th Anniversary Reissues
Once upon a time, when the mighty stadium-rock juggernauts known as U2 were but mere arena-rock welterweights with visions of Kmart tours and U.N. Security Council meetings dancing in their heads, they made a record that put them over the top in virtually every conceivable way.
That record is The Joshua Tree. And The Joshua Tree turned 20 this year. In celebration, the Brian Eno/Daniel Lanois-produced modern classic will-- according to Billboard.com-- be re-released in four increasingly-elaborate ways: a single CD, a double-CD set, a double-CD/single-DVD box, and a double-vinyl package.
Though the always-exciting format details are still trickling in, we know this: The tracklists for the CD, LP, DVD, and bonus disc follow. What's more, new liner notes abound, and the CD/DVD combo contains five portfolio prints, whatever that might mean. The DVD supposedly sports both film from a July 1987 show at Paris' Hippodrome and the documentary Outside It's America, but, again, that's tentative.
Billboard.com also creeped out onto a pretty shaky limb to add that "although details have yet to be announced, Joshua Tree demos, alternate versions, and B-sides from the period are expected to appear." Whatever they've got, It'll all hit shelves November 20 from UMe.
