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 Español: 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 Sánchez (People en Español) Los tres primeros discos de U2--Boy, October, and War--reciben el tratamiento de lujo en versiones remasterizadas, justo como el año pasado sucedió con su legendario The Joshua Tree. Cada título incluye un segundo disco de lados-b, remixes, versiones en vivo y rarezas que sólo y exclusivamente los fanáticos de la banda irlandesa podrán apreciar. La caja tiene espacio para un cuarto álbum (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 saldrá el siguiente año, con mejores álbumes del grupo. --Ernesto Sánchez (People en Español)

Rating: - be careful of the october cd
i bought mine and the "october" cd had both of the same disc's in the package, had to return it to amazon.com
hopefully the replacement will be correct.great package if everything was right in it.
Rating: - Well-done Edge !
I really like the Edge's work on these 3 albums. Great sound, luxury books and covers. Only for fans !
Rating: - Very interesting!!! u2 Rocks again and again!
This box set is such an incredible lookback to u2 early's that shows since the start (out of control, boy/girl like hard sound) to the progression and almost integrity as a rock band with War.
I recomended this box set to anyone because has a complete setlisting of B-sides, demos, and live recordings from this era, besides, the package plus the poster are really good stuff! thanxs Amazon!
Rating: - Awesome...
If you are a really U2 fan, this is for you, if don't go to any regular music store and buy the regular album. What you can find here is awesome different versions and sounds never heard before plus unreleased songs impossible to find in the past... just to give you a hint, the single record LP U2 3 was on sale on ebay a couple of years ago fo 350 Euros and now you have these songs right here with better sound... just Awesome
Rating: - Excellent Product
For all U2 fans this box set is a must. With purchasing this box set through Amazon you will also receive a poster.
