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 )

I bought this for my wife for her birthday and she really likes the set. Once we opened the package I noticed the bonus CD for the October album was not a bonus CD it was just a duplicate of the original. I was expecting more from this box set but my wife is the one that I have to make sure is satisified with the set.
 Great value and hard to resist October 1, 2008
The hardest part with a collection like this is that, if you're a long-time or ardent fan, you'll already own more than half these tracks. The unique packaging, new sleeve inserts and rare tracks help to make it more attractive. But it was the lure of buying this exclusive from Amazon for less than the cost of buying 2 individual deluxe CD's from my usual store that was the clincher.
I'm no audiophile but I have to say I think the remastered albums sound good and have an appealling clarity and depth to them.
In terms of the bonus discs my only gripe is with War and the lack of variety on it. I don't really want to listen to 4 consecutive remixes of New Year's Day and 3 of Two Hearts; one of each would have been enough.
The poster is an odd edition. Uncreased, it would have been worthy of framuing and putting on display. But after being folded and packed in the box, why would you bother?
In summary, this collection is only for the most dedicated fan or a good starting point if you don't own any U2 or are a late convert.

 U2 Deluxe Edition Box Set [Amazon.com Exclusive] September 20, 2008
As a fan for over 20 years, tougt that I saw everything. But this masterpiece from the past, U2 made it better. Not recommended for general use, but as U2's fan I will recommend to all who adore U2 as much as I do.
U2 Box set is Magnificent September 17, 2008
What can I say? This is one fine collection of the greatest band in the world! U2 has made a wise and awesome choice here to bring out the classic albums and rework them for today's new generation of music lovers. I am sorta the bridge between the early years of U2 and the Future of U2. I was too young to know about these 3 albums as I was growing up, and caught U2 fever in the JT/R&H era. The driving force for me to purchase this was an awesome b-side "A Celebration". I have been obsesed with this little ditty since I watched those old MTV A-Z video collections. This song struck me as no other U2 b-side. I don't know how this was left off any album and finally is back in glorious re-editing for my listening pleasure. So all in all this is an awesome set even if you own the CD's from way back or the LP's from even farther back. The sound is amazing and Edge out did himself on this. If you are a fan of U2 or just curious about this band, pick this Deluxe Edition up. The poster and the b-sides are worth it enough, then you include the albums and its just gravy on the potatoes, icing on the cake, and pickle relish on your hot dog. This is well worth the money and you save a few bucks than buying the 3 seperate remasters and no poster.
