Album Description
This limited edition collectible U2 Deluxe Edition boxset is handsomely constructed in a sturdy hardbound shell, measuring 5 3/4" (width) x 2 3/4" (spine width) x 5 7/16" (tall) and comes with the newly remastered and expanded 2 CD deluxe editions of the bands first three albums BOY, OCTOBER and WAR, plus room for a fourth (not included). Re-mastered from the original audio tapes, each deluxe includes a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and the packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full lyrics. This set also comes with a limited edition, exclusive 18'x24' full color replica poster from the bands beginnings, recreated just for this boxset.
People en Espanol
U2?s first three albums--Boy, October, and War--receive star treatment with these re-mastered versions, just as their legendary The Joshua Tree record did last year. Every album includes a second disc of b-side remixes, live versions, and rare performances that die-hard fans of the Irish band will surely appreciate. The box also has room for a fourth album (we assume it?s for The Joshua Tree), but we can?t help to think that they?ll come out with a second Deluxe Edition Box Set next year, with even better albums from the band?s vast musical catalog. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol  ) Los tres primeros discos de U2--Boy, October, and War--reciben el tratamiento de lujo en versiones remasterizadas, justo como el ano pasado sucedio con su legendario The Joshua Tree. Cada titulo incluye un segundo disco de lados-b, remixes, versiones en vivo y rarezas que solo y exclusivamente los fanaticos de la banda irlandesa podran apreciar. La caja tiene espacio para un cuarto album (suponemos que para poner The Joshua Tree), pero desafortunadamente no podemos dejar de pensar en que se trata en una simple estrategia de la disquera, y que el segundo Deluxe Edition Box Set saldra el siguiente ano, con mejores albumes del grupo. --Ernesto Sanchez (People en Espanol )

 Not a bad release, but it has flaws January 6, 2009
I bought this Deluxe Edition as soon as it became available and I was excited when it came in the post. Delivery was fine, everything was there, the box was in good shape, but I feel that the box itself could have been put together a lot better. Sometimes, when I am moving and organising my things, the little books containing the discs tend to slip right out, onto the floor and the box itself could be easily crushed. I wasn't too thrilled about that. I love packaging as much as I do the actual music inside, that's why I'm a collector. So that knocks some points off for me. The books, however, I did enjoy. Probably more than the music.
As for the actual music, I was a little bit disappointed with it. I already own all three albums and admittedly, I was lacking the bonus material, which helped me in deciding whether or not to buy this release, or just save my money for a more worthy release, like the Under a Blood Red Sky remaster. The upgrades to the music are nice, but not enough for me to rave over and the bonus material, most notably on the War end of things, was very disappointing to say the least. I've listened to the War Bonus disc maybe all of once or twice. Who really needs that many versions of New Year's Day? I think that the studio version got played enough, thanks.
My last complaint is the price. Yes, the price. For what was asked for this product, I do not feel it lived up to it's worth. The remastering is OK at best and the bonus material leaves a lot to be desired, though I will say I do frequently listen to the Boy and October bonus discs. The price is awfully steep for what's inside and the box looked to me like not much thought had gone into it at all. 6 Discs enclosed in hardback books with a poster would warrant a price like this, but like I tend to say ... quality over quantity, my friends. I feel it could have been much better than it was - especially for what it cost.
 U2 Deluxe Edition Box Set [Amazon.com Exclusive] December 12, 2008
The U2 Deluxe Edition Box Set [Amazon.com Exclusive] is a nice score. I got this as a gift for my dad and it contained some worthwhile additions to just buying them all seperatly.
be careful of the october cd December 2, 2008
i bought mine and the "october" cd had both of the same disc's in the package, had to return it to amazon.com
hopefully the replacement will be correct.great package if everything was right in it.
Well-done Edge ! November 30, 2008
I really like the Edge's work on these 3 albums. Great sound, luxury books and covers. Only for fans !
Very interesting!!! u2 Rocks again and again! November 4, 2008
This box set is such an incredible lookback to u2 early's that shows since the start (out of control, boy/girl like hard sound) to the progression and almost integrity as a rock band with War.
I recomended this box set to anyone because has a complete setlisting of B-sides, demos, and live recordings from this era, besides, the package plus the poster are really good stuff! thanxs Amazon!
