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.
