U2 To Rerelease Debut Album

Maybe it'll chart this time...

February 09, 2008 by C Taylor

U2 are re-releasing their debut album ‘Boy’, with the rest of their back catalogue to follow.

The album - which failed to chart when originally released in 1980 - will hit record shop shelves again on 20 May.

Island Records have nicely included a bonus CD alongside a remastered version of the original album.

Classic U2 album ‘Joshua Tree’ also got the rerelease treatment last year to mark the 25th anniversary of its release.

Its abusive, but the people who actually buy it are to blame.

Hopefully The Unforgettable Fire will get the same treatment as the Joshua Tree. B-Sides!!!

Endless reissues are shameless, BUT these are albums due for remastering. The Joshua Tree reissue is GREAT, not only for the extras but for the sound quality. It’s phenomenal--definitely better than the old tape I wore out as a teenager.
