Boy, October, War reissues in Rolling Stone

[morgan1098]

Here's what their summer music preview has to say. No track lists, but it sounds like live tracks will be included and Edge is doing the liner notes again:

U2
Boy; October; War (Reissues) Summer


The Edge personally supervised the repackaging — and remastering — of U2's first three studio albums. The two-disc sets — which contain the classic tunes "I Will Follow," "New Year's Day" and "Sunday Bloody Sunday" — are packed with live tracks, B sides, outtakes, never-before-seen photos and new liner notes by the guitarist himself.

WooHoo!!

Should be very interesting. I just picked up JT remastered today and then went over to Borders to have a look at the latest magazines/books that I am too cheap to buy. Got to love malls and downtowns and one stop shopping! First nice spring day up here @school in Vermont- it sure takes longer to warm up here than home in Boston. Saw the Rolling Stone piece, I will buy this package if only for the b-sides and live stuff. They always have some new thing that you can only get by buying remastered old stuff-- brilliant strategy! Anyways, look forward to popping in JT remastered tonight.

But really, am looking forward to the reissues - just hope they don't polish out the rawness which, really, is part of the attraction

i doubt this rolling stone snippet is anything official, looks like cobbled stuff from, granted, what is the likeliest outcome.

 

[EdgeIsTooSexy]

[Jimmy Jazz]

Bonus DVDs too please, Mr. Edge.

Talking about June now.
2008 is going to be a very expensive year!

I'll pass on the re-issue's, although if there are some NEVER HEARD BEFORE B-sides...that haven't been around these parts for years I might be interested.

Just stop all this reissue business and bring out the new album already. I'm guessing maybe they are a bit behind in recording, and doing all this to get us of their backsides to put out a record.

I think they've been planning these for awhile now and has nothing to do with them running behind...

I think the speculating threads are in Where the Album has No Name...

HOLY shit that is the most terrifying picture I think I've ever seen.

Who, what, where, when, and most importantly...WHY???

Actually, I don't care. Nightmares are in my future. Dammit.

i disagree. people have been clamoring for a reissue and remastered stuff in years past, and i think it's a great addition to any collection. some of the songs need some updating.

if you don't want it, don't buy it, but i support the remastering completely.

Hey, THERE's Fake Edge!

 

[U2girl]

I'll pass on the re-issue's.

If there's a Lovetown DVD with the Rattle and Hum reissue involved, I'd be interested.

Otherwise - pass and bring on the new album, since you're actually an active band.
