Show All 167 Reviews- Found a copy at my local oxfam for 99p. Can't wait to test it.
My pressing sounds pretty great. Very nice soundstage. No sibilance or distortion across either side of the album as well. A good sounding record.
referencing The Joshua Tree (CD, Album) CD 53220
I have variant 2 runout/matrix markings but the cd is printed differently? has cat number on disk and case 842298-2 says made in Australia with only the Phonogram logo and island records logo visible on case cd lists marketed Australasia by PolyGram records? no barcode.- Edited 25 days agoNot a great-sounding release of an all-time classic album. The mix sounds a bit muddy to my ears.
- Nice clean, quiet pressing. Good deluxe packaging too. Bass is strong
Can anyone tell me if this will be released on surround sound 5.1 audio?
Can't wait to listen to this masterpiece on my home theatre surround sound!
Edited 2 months agoOnly a handful of bands lit up the '80s the way U2 did; this masterpiece represents the pinnacle of a long and remarkable career. This record is infused with bluesy and folk influences, with energy and lacks the sameness of the first three albums. Every track on side A is an absolute favorite of mine and placed perfectly in the set list. Side B brings it home with pure artistry and some great supporting pieces.
I got to see U2 in concert several times in the '80s and '90s and will never forget the pure spectacle of it all.
The recording is outstanding with a beautiful sound stage and plenty of dynamics. This particular pressing is excellent. No complaints at all. 5 stars, recommended.- I think the golden look is tarnishing of the original CD. I have a couple of similar vintage CDs from the late 1980s that have done this, and at least two are U2 discs from this era - one a different version of Joshua Tree and one Unforgettable Fire.

Definitely my favorite version of this masterpiece, aside from the original CD. The remasters add nothing to the sound so this is my go to copy. Definitely pick up a good copy of this. When I go there.....I go there with you
Finally pulled the trigger on this and bought a gently used copy, basically new and it was 100% worth it. The box is so damn beautiful it’s unreal. I wish the pictures in the book were in color and mot B&W but they still look amazing.
The actual records themselves have really good mastering. I’m sure it’s not the absolute best mastering for the main album, but it’s still great. That live LP kicks ass as well, mixed and mastered to perfection. Do yourself a favor and buy this before they’re astronomically priced, I’m lucky i got mine at a fair price after it went out of print!
