From Billboard:
Looks like a new U2 LP this year and the first three albums will be reissued with rarities. A tour is to follow in 2009.
From U2.com:
The Edge, Larry, Adam and Bono are back in the Dublin studio, after
their respective Easter breaks, continuing to work on new material with
Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno.
We hear that the recording sessions in Hanover Quay are going well -
with everyone still hoping the new album will be out this year.
No word on how the music is developing from last year's songwriting
sessions in France and Morocco but the band are in good form and
enjoying themselves.
And:
U2’s first three albums have been remastered and will be released by Universal on July 21st.
Following the remastered release of The Joshua Tree last year, Edge has
overseen a similar remastering of Boy (1980), October (1981) and War
(1983). All of which have been remastered from the original audio tapes.
Each album will be released as a standard single disc, a deluxe double
version including a disc of b-sides, live tracks and rarities, and an
LP version pressed on 180gm virgin vinyl.
The packaging on all three titles has been restored and expanded, with
new liner notes for each record, previously unseen photos and full
lyrics. More details as we get them.
