Album Notes
U2: Bono (vocals, harmonica); The Edge (guitar, keyboards, background vocals); Adam Clayton (bass); Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums).Additional personnel includes: Daniel Lanois (guitar, keyboards, tambourine, background vocals); Brian Eno (keyboards, programming, background vocals).Engineers include: Flood.Recorded at Windmill Lane Studios, Dublin, Ireland.THE JOSHUA TREE won the 1987 Grammy award for album of the year.After their arresting appearance at Live Aid, U2 album sales went berserk across the globe, and the world waited impatiently for their next release. The Joshua Tree arrived, and fans were not disappointed. There are few weaknesses, musical or lyrical, in this album. The pure power of the music and patent honesty of the lyrics steer the band clear of whimsy and self-indulgence. The anguish and questioning is shot through with faith as they chant and stomp and batter their way through instant classics such as 'Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For', 'Where The Streets Have No Name' and 'With Or Without You', leaving the listener bruised but elated.

I has this on tape, back in the 80's and had forgotten just how good it is.
If you like U2 then this is a must have.

One of the best all time albums. This is very influential album ask rolling stones magazine.
This is the album that made U2 a super group. Every track is great and we will always remember the videos

This is a 5 out of 5 album and should be in every ones collection

  U2 The Joshua Tree
Review created: 06/03/08

I got this album, after hearing an unreleased track on the radio (Red Hill Mining Town). A song that Bono is reluctant to sing live these days due to the high note the chorus takes. It's a fabulous song!

I had this album, in vinyl, some years ago. I actually saw U2 in Murrayfield, Edinburgh way back when they did the tour that went along with this album, and it has been etched in my mind forever!

Listening to this cd brought back some of those terrific memories from the live gig. The album is a little treasure in my book. Not one you just listen to then put away on the shelf. It stays out and is played daily in my house now!

Can't say enough good things about it :-)
