Only 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!

Phenomenal package all around. The box sleeve is so beautiful and high quality. There is so much content it’s amazing… I listened to the album last night… and it’s the best I’ve heard TJT sound by orders of magnitude. Splitting the album on 2 LPs + the remaster have brought depth and transcendence to this album that eluded me on the single disc OG copies I’ve acquired previously. The soundstage and dynamics are top notch and the discs are dead quiet…. the fade outs on With or Without You, Running to Standstill, and Mothers of the Disappeared are stunning beyond description. I can’t wait to experience the live LP and bonus tracks. Acquire this box and cherish it, it will be a timeless gem in any record collection.
God, this pressing sounds great. I had only heard the cd for decades.
This is another album that is solid from start to finish. Every song is excellent. They really were an awesome band.

Does this sound different than the 1987 CD pressings in the other regions?

Terrible pressing, GZ Media poor qulity sound. All sides A B C D has surface noice. Where the streets have no name sounds awful at start. Only for collection but not for listening...
Sounds really great. Got this copy from a friends dad who was getting rid of his records.
