Overall, CD #2 is terrific, and makes a great stand alone album in it's own right. Indeed, it could be argued that many of these extra tracks might have been better choices for the album than those that were selected. ![]() What's most notable is the very high quality of the non-album tracks, especially 'Spanish Eyes' and 'Silver And Gold'. The Deluxe Edition contains two CD's, a Joshua Tree Tour Concert DVD, a booklet with essays and lyrics, and half a dozen photo cards with pictures from that era.ĬD #1 contains the remastered Joshua Tree album in it's original form, including artwork.ĬD #2 is a real treasure, consisting of all the non-album b-sides and assorted outtakes issued here the first time. This special Deluxe Edition is without a doubt the version for serious fans and collectors of U2 to own. The Joshua Tree has always been in my top 20 of all time great rock and roll records. In summary, for any U2 fan, it's definitely worth it! ![]() Maybe there's just so much that can be done! But when the other early CD's get re-mastered I will still definitely get them! Maybe I need better equipment or maybe I know what exactly to listen for. The only disappointment is that I really didn't hear much of a difference with the re-mastered Joshua Tree CD. The B-sides CD was really cool, with some songs I have never heard! I have all of their CD's including some of their B-sides, but I knew there were some songs somewhere out there I'd never heard. The DVD is really great with lots of different footage: videos, & concert & documentary. With the book I learned some things about U2 & the Joshua Tree songs that I didn't know before. This boxed set is really nice, with the picture cards and book, CD's & DVD, & the design of the whole set. U2 has been my all-time favorite band for 24 yrs, so I was excited that they were re-mastering some of their early CD's. This is a really nice gift & collector's item If you only know U2 from 1990 on, you need to see this footage of U2 at their peak, before going to the next level. It is even simpler, and more straight for forward than, the Rattle and Hum concert movie, inwhich they play most of the same songs. I love those too, but this is a nice refresher. The stage is very simple compared to their later Achtung/Pop/Vertigo multimedia extravaganza tours. A simply outside setting in the French countryside, the playing at their best. The book has insight into how and why the albums was put together. The DVD and the Book, are the reason I paid (again) for the album set. The melodies and mix of the instruments on the extra songs definately sound like U2 from that period of time. You may recognize a line of lyrics that has the same rhyming scheme, or the same thought, but using different words. I enjoy hearing them just to hear elements that found there way into other songs. The two unleased songs, were OK, but unreleased 20 years ago because they weren't great. As a U2 fan, I had the album, and most of the songs on the bonus disc that were issued as b-sides on singles, or on other compilation albums. The reissue (Deluxe Edition) is a guilty pleasure. The Joshua album is truely a classic that holds up over time. Reissue: The Joshua Tree (Deluxe Edition) ![]()
