More U2 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.

View 1 Reply- The 20th aniversary... It was released in 1987!

View 1 Reply- Its not an aniversary issue, they are just re-releasing there material with bonus b-sides

- 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.
