U2’s landmark 1987 album The Joshua Tree gets a multitude of reissues in time for its 30th anniversary. The centerpiece is the 4-CD or 7-LP Super Deluxe version containing:
A previously unreleased live concert, recorded at Madison Square Garden in New York City on September 28, 1987. The show is edited from its original set, omitting covers and a performance of “Bad.”
- A disc of newly commissioned remixes of Joshua Tree tracks, with previous collaborators Daniel Lanois, Steve Lillywhite, Flood and Jacknife Lee
- A disc featuring all the bonus B-sides and outtakes of the 2007 reissue (minus the single mix of “Where the Streets Have No Name”), with the addition of two tracks: a vintage alternate mix of “I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For” by Steve Lillywhite and a new take on “One Tree Hill” with producer Brian Eno
- An accompanying 84-page hardcover book in the super deluxe edition will include unpublished photos from the iconic album cover photo shoot in the Mojave Desert in 1986, with a new foreword by guitarist The Edge. Eight individual prints of photos by Anton Corbijn will also be included.
A new 2CD edition will feature the remastered album alongside the live disc; new pressings of the original album on CD and vinyl will also be released-with the deluxe CD sporting a new color edition of the unforgettable album sleeve.
