Īs for the album's 30th anniversary, this was marked with a newly remastered US, UK and Europe deluxe edition double CD with a 1987 show from Madison Square Gardens from 1987. The 2CD plus DVD version includes a 17-song show from The Hippodrome De Vincennes, Paris, in 1987, and a documentary of that year's Joshua Tree tour. The version that came out in the UK and Europe was released by Island, Interscope and Mercury. This appeared in a number of different formats, the basis being a double CD with 14 extra tracks including B-sides and session outtakes. The first significant remaster was the 20th anniversary edition, which was supervised by The Edge. The discs were silver with a black tree logo and the Island logo in blue. Initial UK and US CDs were released in 1987, the cover featuring the 'cassette' group shot.
The Joshua Tree was also released on 8-track cartridge with a cream shell bearing the same photo used for the cassette, but with a blue border.
#U2 THE JOSHUA TREE POSTER PRO#
In the US the cassette had a Dolby HX Pro tape in a transparent shell. In the UK the cassette came in a black shell with a black, dark grey and gold insert in 1987, but with a different group photo from the LP's. It included the standard insert and an additional four-page insert with lyrics translated into Japanese together with a group biography and discography.
The Japanese version came out on Island/Polystar. The initial US pressings, meanwhile, were on brown translucent vinyl. It included a double-page insert, which opened out into a photo poster with lyrics on the rear. The original LP was released in the UK in March 1987 on Island Records in a gatefold sleeve.
