Posted October 18, 200717 yr U2's 'Joshua Tree' Blooms Again Jonathan Cohen To celebrate the 20th birthday of its landmark album The Joshua Tree, U2 is reissuing the set in four different incarnations on Nov. 20 via UMe. The album will be available as a remastered single CD, a 2-CD set, a 2-CD/1-DVD collectible box and a double-vinyl package. The single-disc will be housed in a jewel case, but the 2-CD set comes in a hard back case. The 2-CD/1-DVD version has a base and lid to accommodate the discs as well as five portfolio prints. Band members have contributed new liner notes for the package. Of most interest to fans is the inclusion of rare material on the expanded editions. Although details have yet to be announced, Joshua Tree demos, alternate versions and B-sides from the period are expected to appear. The DVD is understood to comprise a July 4, 1987, show at the Paris Hippodrome, as well as the documentary Outside It's America. Produced by Brian Eno, The Joshua Tree shot U2's commercial fortunes into the stratosphere. The album's first three tracks were huge singles, with both "With or Without You" and "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" hitting No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. © Nielsen Business Media, Inc., 2007.
