Hi my friends.

This thread is for disscussing what stuff would you like to see included on the future Boy Reissue

(let's assume that the album will get the same treatment as Joshua Tree, that's the album + CD of B-sides, rarities, etc + DVD with a concert plus documentary and videos)

What about A Celebration?

As it came out in March 1982, October is the closest album, though I'd argue it'd probably be a better fit on War.

There's a lack of material for October (at least, comparing with the other possible reissues). Also the band looks like October days on the video, so I'd put it on October reissue (as well Party Girl)

:yes:

Boy is an amazing first album. I cant think of a band whose had a better first album.

I hope they'd take the October Tour live tracks and move them to the October box set. For War:

Disk 1: Remastered War
Disk 2: Treasure
A Celebration
Party Girl
Endless Deep
Be There (Demo)
UABRS
No remixes please.



Disk 3: If they don't release UABRS prior, I'd say this. If they have released it then the Pro Shot Saint Goershausen show would have to be the odds-on favorite. Plus A Celebration & Two Hearts promo vids.

For Boy

Disk 1: Boy
Disk 2: Three
Another Day
11 O'Clock Tick Tock
Touch
Things To make And Do
Twilight (Single Version)
Early Demos

DVD: Is there a full show pro shot? I hope we wouldn't just get clips. That Boston show in 81?

Speaking of Boy, I had the strangest dream last night. I dreamt that me and my dad were at Best Buy, and I found a copy of Boy with the original cover, and it was $6.99. Needless to say, I bought it.
