The Joshua Tree
Release Date: March 1987
"With Or Without You whispers its way into the world"--Bono
"It's a very odd sounding song, it just isn't odd anymore because you have heard it so many times." --Bono
U2 has a Presence of Performance--Daniel Lanois (Producer)
"Synamatic Music, Brought you somewhere physical rather than emotional"--Edge
‘A lot of the songs were ones that were recorded in Larry’s spare bedroom or Adam’s living room. When the red light’s on we often don’t respond to it. When we’re just left to be, left to make music our own way, well some of the tracks are almost like demos. We had to fight to make them work and there were a lot of songs left over. It could have gone off in a number of different directions. We wanted the idea of a one-piece record, not a side-one, side-two thing.Bono, March 1987

AWESOME post Carolyn. I love the quotes. They do "exclusive" stuff for everybody! We'll have to start taping and swap.
Speaking of Daniel Lanois, did you ever hear his album "Shine"?
It's on my ipod and comes up on shuffle once in a while. It's mellow, but I like it. Bono sings with him on one or two songs.
Cool Matt. We'll have to check it out!
