Boy, October, War: Remastered
U2’s first three albums have been remastered and will be released by Universal on July 21st.

Following the remastered release of The Joshua Tree last year, Edge has overseen a similar remastering of Boy (1980), October (1981) and War (1983). All of which have been remastered from the original audio tapes.

Each album will be released as a standard single disc, a deluxe double version including a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and an LP version pressed on 180gm virgin vinyl.

The packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics. More details as we get them.

Big News: ONE on Idol Wednesday
April 7th, 2008 at 8:53 pm | posted by Virginia Simmons

On Wednesday night, American Idol is going to feature ONE on their special “Idol Gives Back” episode.

Last year we gained 100,000 new members after Idol Gives Back aired, and this is going to be another incredibly important moment to place the fight against extreme poverty in the living rooms of more than 25 million Americans.

The episode will air at 7:30/6:30c and I’ll be watching and live blogging (in case you don’t have a TV, miss it or just like to read our blog;)

Stay tuned for more updates as the air date draws closer. Until then, an exclusive sneak peak for loyal ONE Blog fans of our co-founder Bono’s recent trip to Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, where he met 14-year-old Deloy. Footage from the trip will air on Idol Gives Back on Wednesday.

[Photo caption: ONE co-founder Bono meets with Deloy, a 14-year-old boy living in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania who lost both of his parents to HIV/AIDS. Deloy, shared with Bono his “memory box,” a small cardboard box decorated in wrapping paper in which he keeps mementos from his mother and father. Deloy receives help from a wonderful health care facility in Dar es Salaam called PASADA, which is funded in part by America via contributions to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria and PEPFAR.]

Back to the Day Job
The Edge, Larry, Adam and Bono are back in the Dublin studio, after their respective Easter breaks, continuing to work on new material with Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.

We hear that the recording sessions in Hanover Quay are going well -
with everyone still hoping the new album will be out this year.

No word on how the music is developing from last year’s songwriting
sessions in France and Morocco but the band are in good form and
enjoying themselves.

More as we get it.
