UNDER THE BLOOD RED SKY - PLEASE NOTE FOR THE COLLECTOR THE BLACK & SILVER STICKER ONLY AVAILABLE ON THIS ORIGINAL RELEASE
Following the critically acclaimed War, which was released earlier in the same year and helped transform U2 into arena rock stars, Under a Blood Red Sky features material from U2's first three albums. A thrilling rendition of "Sunday Bloody Sunday" is the centerpiece of the record, and it is delivered here in outstanding fashion, with unsurpassed fire and passion.
Many of these renditions are considerably tougher and less textured than their studio counterparts, but the band manages to draw on the energy from the crowd to deliver timeless performances. U2's reputation as the world's greatest live act, due in no small part to the sweeping success of Under a Blood Red Sky, would not be put to question for four more years, when The Joshua Tree won them their first Grammy Award and indisputably established them as simply the world's greatest rock band.
Rolling Stone hailed Under a Blood Red Sky as "one of the 50 moments that changed rock and roll." It remains as relevant today as a quarter century ago, always inferential of a global backdrop of war and violence, and always the pride of any rock and roll collection.

By the time of this 1983 live EP, U2 had emerged as the socio-politically conscious, self-determined saviors of rock & roll, their passion, musical power and sheer youthful exuberance making them rock idols to countless young (and some not-so-young) fans. This live document shows the ability of the band to fire up a crowd with their earnest, anthemic approach. Early U2 classics like "Gloria," "I Will Follow" and the rabble-rousing terrorism protest "Sunday Bloody Sunday" are neighbored with fun obscurities like "Party Girl" and the moody "The Electric Co."

U2's first three albums have been re-mastered and are available on 180g virgin vinyl! The packaging has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each title and previously unseen photos and full lyrics.
Ireland's premier pop/rock band, U2, burst onto the scene in the early eighties and were dominant through the early nineties! War features such U2 classics as: Sunday Bloody Sunday, New Year's Day and Two Hearts Beat As One. A piece of '80s nostalgia.
"Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Year's Day are easily two of the era's best songs... and they have never sounded better than they do here. On the whole, the album sports solid imaging and a wide deep soundstage..." - Andy Downing, The Absolute Sound, November 2008, Issue 186
"U2 were on the cusp of becoming one of the Eighties' most important groups when War came out. It's the band's most overtly political album, with songs about Poland's Solidarity movement ("New Year's Day") and Irish unrest ("Sunday Bloody Sunday") charged with explosive, passionate guitar rock." -
"'New Year's Day' lifted U2 out of the rock underground for good. As he often did, Bono made up his lyrics on the spot. 'We improvise, and the things that came out, I let them come out,' he said. 'I must have been thinking about Lech Walesa being interned. Then, when we'd recorded the song, they announced that martial law would be lifted in Poland on New Year's Day. Incredible.'" - Rolling Stone
"This rallying cry set to a military beat was inspired by two Sunday massacres in the ongoing civil war between Irish Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland. The band changed the song’s opening line from 'Don’t talk to me about the rights of the IRA' to 'I can’t believe the news today' out of fear that its plea for peace would be misconstrued." - Rolling Stone

"…War immediately announces itself as U2's most focused and hardest-rocking album to date. Blowing away the fuzzy, sonic indulgences of October with propulsive, martial rhythms and shards of guitar, War bristles with anger, despair, and above all, passion. Previously, Bono's attempts at messages came across as grandstanding, but his vision becomes remarkably clear on this record." – All Music Guide

U2's first three albums have been re-mastered and are available on 180g virgin vinyl! The packaging has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each title and previously unseen photos and full lyrics.
"Boy" is the debut album from Irish rock band U2, originally released in 1980. Common themes among the album's songs are the dreams and frustrations of adolescence.
"... Bono frequently sounds like he's singing on the edge of an expansive abyss. Such dynamics shine on the sharp LP, which sports a soundstage wide enough to suit the band's growing ambition..." - Andy Downing, The Absolute Sound, November 2008, Issue 186
"Too ingenuous for punk, too unironic for New Wave, U2 arrived on Boy as big-time dreamers with the ambition to back it up. The Dublin foursome boasted Bono's arena-ready voice and Dave "the Edge" Evans' echoey, effects-laden guitar, as well as anthemic songs such as the club favorite "I Will Follow.

U2's most openly spiritual album, in which Bono wrestles with faith, doubt and devotion and does it all live on the microphone, calling out to the Lord like a preacher speaking in tongues, the Holy Spirit coursing through his veins. It was a high wire act, a white knuckle affair, a musical Rorschach test. There is little polish and finesse about the lyrics on October but they are extraordinarily alive and revealing, a genuine example of Van Morrison's much vaunted "inarticulate speech of the heart."

The Joshua Tree is the album that saw U2 become "Rock's Hottest Ticket". U2's 1987 release entered the US album charts at No. 7 and reached No. 1 three weeks later. It was U2's first album to reach No. 1 in the United States. In 1999, The Joshua Tree was awarded the RIAA's highest certification, Diamond, with 10 million units sold.
"On U2's fifth full album, the band immerses itself in the mythology of the United States, particularly the wide-open spaces and possibilities of the Western frontier, while guitarist the Edge exploits the poetic echo of digital delay, drowning his trademark arpeggios in rippling tremolo." rollingstone

U2 Songs of Innocence 180g 2LP (White Vinyl)
Heavyweight 180g White Vinyl Double LP from U2!
2015 Grammy Award Nominee for:
• Best Rock Album
Songs of Innocence is U2's most personal work to date, charting the band's earliest influences from '70s rock and punk rock to early '80s electronica and ambient music and giving insight into how and why the band came together. The album deals with themes of home and family, relationships and discovery and is produced by Danger Mouse, along with Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Declan Gaffney and Flood.
Songs of Innocence was recorded in Dublin, London, New York and Los Angeles and is produced by Danger Mouse, along with Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Declan Gaffney and Flood. The album closes with 'The Troubles' featuring the distinctive vocals of Swedish indie singer-songwriter Lykke Li.
"No other rock band does rebirth like U2. No other band – certainly of U2's duration, commercial success and creative achievement – believes it needs rebirth more and so often. But even by the standards of transformation on 1987's The Joshua Tree and 1991's Achtung! Baby, Songs of Innocence – U2's first studio album in five years – is a triumph of dynamic, focused renaissance: 11 tracks of straightforward rapture about the life-saving joys of music, drawing on U2's long palette of influences and investigations of post-punk rock, industrial electronics and contemporary dance music..." - Rollingstone September 11, 2014
Rolling Stone was breathless with enthusiasm, awarding the album a full 5 out of 5 stars: “These are the oldest stories in rock & roll – adolescent restlessness; traumatic loss; the revelation of rescue hiding in a great chorus or power chord. But Songs of Innocence is the first time U2 have told their own tales so directly, with the strengths and expression they have accumulated as songwriters and record-makers.”
