U2’s first three albums have been re-mastered and will be released by Universal on July 22st 2008.
Following the re-mastered release of The Joshua Tree last year, The Edge has overseen a similar re-mastering of Boy (1980), October (1981) and War (1983). All of which have been re-mastered from the original audio tapes.
Each album will be released as a standard single disc, a deluxe double version including a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and an LP version pressed on 180gm virgin vinyl.
The packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics.
