Editorial Reviews:

Album Description
This limited edition collectible U2 Deluxe Edition boxset is handsomely constructed in a sturdy hardbound shell, measuring 5 3/4" (width) x 2 3/4" (spine width) x 5 7/16" (tall) and comes with the newly remastered and expanded 2 CD deluxe editions of the bands first three albums BOY, OCTOBER and WAR, plus room for a fourth (not included). Re-mastered from the original audio tapes, each deluxe includes a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and the packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics.

This set also comes with a limited edition, exclusive 18'x24' full color replica poster from the bands beginnings, recreated just for this boxset.

People en Espanol
U2?s first three albums--Boy, October, and War--receive star treatment with these re-mastered versions, just as their legendary The Joshua Tree record did last year. Every album includes a second disc of b-side remixes, live versions, and rare performances that die-hard fans of the Irish band will surely appreciate. The box also has room for a fourth album (we assume it?s for The Joshua Tree), but we can?t help to think that they?ll come out with a second Deluxe Edition Box Set next year, with even better albums from the band?s vast musical catalog. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol People en Espanol)

Los tres primeros discos de U2--Boy, October, and War--reciben el tratamiento de lujo en versiones remasterizadas, justo como el ano pasado sucedio con su legendario The Joshua Tree. Cada titulo incluye un segundo disco de lados-b, remixes, versiones en vivo y rarezas que solo y exclusivamente los fanaticos de la banda irlandesa podran apreciar. La caja tiene espacio para un cuarto album (suponemos que para poner The Joshua Tree), pero desafortunadamente no podemos dejar de pensar en que se trata en una simple estrategia de la disquera, y que el segundo Deluxe Edition Box Set saldra el siguiente ano, con mejores albumes del grupo. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol People en Espanol)

5 out of 5 stars A huge Event   August 28, 2008
Let me tell you that if you are a new U2 fan You must get this collection. The reason is that it is included one of the best records of the band and it is October. I do not understand why they did not perform more songs from this excellent record. But let me tell you that the B side records capture the personallity of the band and the great moment that they were trough.


3 out of 5 stars Shoddy Workmanship On the Box Itself!   August 27, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

First, I'm a huge U2 fan and have no problems at all with the actual contents of the box. My problem is at with how poorly the actual box and its contents were assembled. The glue is clearly coming off on the bindings and at places the edges don't meet, exposing cardboard underneath. The empty CD space was filled with a bonus poster which is nice but did not sufficiently support any weight on the box itself, so the box caves in a bit (or at least mine did in shipping). Again, love the contents only wish they had paid more attention to the details that make this a "Deluxe Edition". In hindsight I would have just bought the discs separately.


5 out of 5 stars 2 copies of October and no bonus CD   August 26, 2008
Has anyone else gotten an incorrectly packaged version? I have 2 copies of the October album and no bonus-cd for that album!?


5 out of 5 stars Nice repackaging/remastering   August 25, 2008
Well, as a U2 Superfan, I had very high expectations of this release and what can I say, expectations were met. Nice box set with all the extras one would desire. B-sides/remixes/remastering is nice/great booklets/sturdy case/etc. Get this one before they are all gone.


4 out of 5 stars 2 out of 3 ain't bad.....   August 25, 2008
Boy and October never sound this good before. War on the other hand was remastered too "loud". But since I have the gold MFSL disc I'm not that upset.
The total package is very well done, and it's amazing to have those b-sides,remixes and demos in such great sound.
Bravo to the Edge/U2/record company for a great set for the fans.
