U2 uudelleenjulkaisee klassikkoalbuminsa erikoisjulkaisuina

U2:n ikoninen studioalbumi ”The Joshua Tree” julkaistiin 30 vuotta sitten ja merkkipaalua juhlistetaan uudelleenjulkaisuilla kesäkuun 2. päivä. Massiiviset juhlajulkaisut pitävät sisällään alkuperäisen levyn lisäksi livetallenteita bändin Madison Square Gardenin konsertista vuodelta 1987, harvinaisuuksia ja b-puolia. Lisäksi mukana on uusia remixejä sekä 84-sivuinen kirja The Edgen ottamista kuvista Mojaven aavikon valokuvasessiosta vuodelta 1986.

The Joshua Tree julkaistiin 9.3.1987 ja se piti sisällään mm. bändin klassikoiksi muodostuneet kappaleet ”With Or Without You”, ”I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” ja ”Where The Streets Have No Name”. Albumi nousi listaykköseksi kautta maailman ja se myi yli 25 miljoonaa kappaletta. The Joshua Tree nosti bändin supertähtiluokkaan. Julkaisua seuranneen 12 kuukauden aikana U2 oli Time-lehden kannessa, voitti Brit Awards – palkinnon ja kaksi Grammya sekä kuvasi ikimuistettavan ”Where The Streets Have No Name” –videon losangelesilaisen rakennuksen katolla.

U2 lähtee toukokuussa The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 –kiertueelle, joka vie bändin Yhdysvaltoihin ja Eurooppaan.

Celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of its 1987 release, it’s the ultimate collector’s edition of The Joshua Tree.

A live recording of The Joshua Tree Tour from Madison Square Gardens in 1987, b-sides from the original singles and new remixes from Daniel Lanois, St Francis Hotel, Jacknife Lee, Steve Lillywhite and Flood form part of this special edition of The Joshua Tree.

Set for a June 2nd release, it will also feature an 84-page hardback book of unseen personal photography shot by The Edge during the original Mojave Desert photo session in 1986. ”When I see the people we were back then,” writes Edge, in his introduction. ”I see a bunch of pilgrims on a journey towards some kind of creative home. I think that really does capture the spirit of the band at that time.” What does The Joshua Tree mean to you ?
