LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Universal
Music Enterprises) - U2's THE JOSHUA TREE has been meticulously remastered from the original analog master tapes to mark 20 years since its release is now available.
"There has been continuous demand from U2 fans to have THE JOSHUA TREE properly re-mastered," says Paul McGuinness. "As always, the band had to make sure it was right, and now it is."
In 1987, THE JOSHUA TREE reached Number 1 around the world and won a Grammy for Album of the Year, while U2 won the Brit Award for Best International Act and Time Magazine put the band on its cover, proclaiming them "Rock's Hottest Ticket".

- A standard CD featuring liner notes from Bill Flanagan, lyrics and unseen photographs from long time collaborator Anton Corbijn.
- A double 12" gatefold vinyl format, with the original album pressed across two 180 gram audiophile discs.
