Following the re-mastered release of The Joshua Tree last year, Edge has overseen a similar re-mastering of U2's first three albums; Boy (1980), October (1981) and War (1983), all of which have been re-mastered from the original audio tapes and will be released on 180g 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.
The final album of U2's early period before the group broadened its sonic palette and lyrical vision, War is a brilliantly conflicted album, sounding martial and majestic while its very purpose is to tear down the false idols propped up by politics. Opening with the fiery protest of "Sunday Bloody Sunday," War is U2's hardest-rocking album to date.
