U2 had previously said that they had big plans for the 30th anniversary for The Joshua Tree which would include a tour and a new version of the album and, last Thursday, they made details known on the multi-disc set.
The Joshua Tree: 30th Anniversary Edition will be released on June 2 in single CD, 2 CD, 4 CD, single Vinyl, 7-LP Vinyl, album only digital, album & MSG digital and album, MSG & rarities digital.
Included on the extra discs are a concert from The Joshua Tree Tour from Madison Square Garden, a disc of remixes and a disc of b-sides and outtakes.
The Super Deluxe box sets also include a book of photographs by The Edge and a folio of eight Anton Corbijn color prints from 1987.
Released to universal acclaim on March 9, 1987 and featuring hit singles With Or Without You, I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For and Where The Streets Have No Name, The Joshua Tree went to number 1 in the U.K, U.S., Ireland and around the world, selling in excess of 25 million albums, and catapulting Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr “… from heroes to superstars” (Rolling Stone). Time Magazine put U2 on its cover in April 1987, proclaiming them “Rock’s Hottest Ticket” and the 12 months that followed saw U2 create indelible moments including the traffic-stopping Grammy Award-winning Where The Streets Have No Name video on the roof of a Los Angeles liquor store, and go on to win a BRIT Award and two Grammys – including Album of the Year – their first of 22 received to date; as well as a triumphant return home for four unforgettable shows in Belfast, Dublin and Cork in the summer of 1987.
The Joshua Tree was produced by Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois. Recording took place in Dublin at Windmill Lane Studios and Danesmoate, the house which subsequently became bassist Adam Clayton’s home.
