Joshua Tree

Turned out the lights and wanted to enjoy one of my favorite all time CD's Joshua Tree..aarrrgh! Time to update the one 1 bought in 1987, cant take the quality of the recording. Browsed thru amazon and saw the Gold Original Master Recording starting at 195.00!!!, up to 350.00 for a new one. I love this CD and am crazy enough to shell out the dough but is it a big improvement over the original release? Are there any other versions similar to the Master but cost less? Thanks!

I doubt it is a lot better. Look for a remastered version, it will probably sound better.

Rumor had it last winter that U2 was going to remaster their first six albums for release this year. I haven't seen any of these yet or heard if they are indeed coming. To my knowledge, the Original Master Recording is the only remaster done of this album to date. It's a pity the cd audio isn't up to snuff because the vinyl version I have sounds quite wonderful.

There is no remaster of this title to date (other than the MoFi mid 90's effort). The whole U2 back catalogue is in serious need of remastering.
