U2 - Boy (Original recording remastered, Deluxe Edition) 2008
The new deluxe edition of U2's, 'Boy' includes the remastered version of the original CD and a Bonus CD. The Bonus CD includes b-sides, live tracks and rarities. The release also includes a 32 page booklet with previously unseen photos, full lyrics, new liner notes by Paul Morley, and explanatory notes on the bonus material by The Edge.
'Boy' is the debut album from Irish rock band U2, originally released October 20, 1980. Produced by Steve Lillywhite, the album received generally positive reviews. Common themes among the album's songs are the dreams and frustrations of adolescence. The album included the band's first United Kingdom hit single, "I Will Follow". Boy's release was followed by U2's first tour of continental Europe and the United States. Despite being unpolished, these early live performances demonstrated U2's potential.
The boy on the cover is Peter Rowan (brother of Bono's friend, Guggi, and now a well-renowned Irish photographer). He also appears on the covers of 'Three', 'War', 'The Best of 1980–1990', and 'Early Demos'. The photographer, Hugo McGuiness, and the sleeve designer, Steve Averill (a friend of bassist Adam Clayton), went on to work on several more U2 album covers.
The image was changed to a distorted picture of the band for the American release, due to fears that the band would be accused of pedophilia. [10] Sandy Porter is credited as the photographer for the American cover.
In 2008, the artwork of the remastered editions will be standardised worldwide to that of the 1980 UK release.
