Fantastic Pressing, Great Sound!

5 Stars
Posted Wednesday, September 7, 2022 by Joseph Roth If you love this album and don't have a clean copy that hasn't been battered by time and teenage fandom, get this! It has punch, it has warmth, it has the Edge up and front, and the Eno/Lanois production really shines. Thanks and great work!

Posted Wednesday, February 23, 2022 by Robert Hildebrandt Without question this is the best available and perhaps the best ever version of this classic LP. I had the UK original in the late 60's and more recently Japan CD Mono and Stereo SHM-CD versions. The Stereo CD mix is a superb rendition but the remastered LP is just breathtaking and quite superior. The bottom end is tight but with lots of volume and there is no diminution of the crisp top end allowing instruments like tambourine and cymbals to be clear in the playback. The vocals are in the room. Very highly recommended.

Posted Sunday, September 19, 2021 by Robert Hildebrandt This european pressing from the master tapes is crisp but full in the bottom end. The original version was slightly muddy but the remaster from the original tapes is full of detail. The packaging is one star below because the original was a fold out with the superb centre colour image and also was more like a real cardboard texture. This time there is no fold-out but the centre picture is provided as a poster. Very impressed by how quiet this pressing was.

Horrible pressing

Posted Thursday, November 21, 2013 by Anonymous I bought and returned this three times trying to get a copy that was not noisy. All copies had loud ticks and plenty of surface noise on side 2. They need to fix this. What a shame.

Bad not breaking in remastering

5 Stars
Posted Friday, February 1, 2013 by Carey I purchased all the U2 reissues here even though I already own most of the originals. On this pressing the vinyl is fairly quiet and that adds something my original version no longer has. I tried listening to the difference between the original and the reissue by flipping between records and playing Bad, the second track on side two. This really revealed the differences between the original and the reissue. Where the original seems to have a warmer quality, the reissue is tighter, more precise and less out of control during portions of the song. The bass guitar is much more loose on the original pressing. On the reissue, the drum cymbals aren't quite as bright, but they don't suffer the same type of uncontrolled crashing toward the end of the song. Overall the reissue is cleaned up. Bono's vocals lose a bit of warmth in his quieter moments but gain better definition when he really gets going. This reissue is a much better choice if you intend to listen at higher volume level.

Posted Tuesday, October 14, 2008 by Anonymous I never thought I'd see this on Vinyl again. Recorded at Red Rocks, Colorado and St. Goarshausen, Germany during the 1983 "War" tour, "Under a Blood Red Sky" shows just how great the young U2 actually were. I just hope that as part of their U2 reissues Island re-release the even better "Wide Awake in America" E.P. My original copy is showing it's age.

Boy Gets The Deluxe Treatment

5 Stars
Posted Tuesday, August 5, 2008 by Kevin M U2's Boy is one of those very special records from my teenage years. The sound of this new edition beats the pants off of my stock copy of my youth. The super quiet vinyl makes for a great listen. The 16 page booklet features pictures from the period and a nice little essay by English journalist Paul Morley.

very good mix

4 Stars
Posted Sunday, March 13, 2005 by ziplin The total sound is very good, however some instruments just seem to be coming from the rears that may have not been originally placed there. all in all I feel it is a very good mix with pristine clairity.
