Yes, it really is 20 years since U2 went into the desert with Anton Cobijn and came back with those iconic photos for their landmark album.

November will see “The Joshua Tree” in bloom again with previously unreleased versions, limited edition prints and new sleeve notes from the band part of the reisue mix.

There are also plans for a DVD containing a 1987 live show from Paris and the “Outside It’s America” rockumentary.

Whatever about the likely manner chosen to release future material, U2 will be keeping faith with their long-standing record label Island for this effort.
