Just out: another U2 reissue, this time,
Under a Blood Red Sky - Deluxe Edition CD/DVD
. I can't believe it's been 25 years since this came out -- I can remember listening to this when it came out in 1983. I think I had it on both vinyl and cassette; CD came later. This reissue's not only remastered, which sounds nicer, but also includes the full DVD of the Red Rocks concert -- the one we old people remember from the live "Sunday Bloody Sunday" video on MTV. This coupled with
War
-- which remains my favorite U2 album (and had a nice reissue this summer, too) made 1983 a great year for U2 -- and, although I've liked just about everything since, the year they produced their best stuff.
