Box-set lançado no ano de 2007 em edição limitada de comemoração dos 20 anos de lançamento do álbum 'The Joshua Tree', do U2.Traz o álbum remasterizado em CD, CD bônus com lados b, raridades e canções inéditas das gravações, além de um DVD bônus com um concerto da turnê do "The Joshua Tree" em Paris, um documentário, 2 videoclipes, 5 impressões fotográficas portfolio dentro de um envelope, e um livro de capa dura em relevo com 56 páginas de letras, fotos e textos de Bill Flanagan, Bono, Adam Clayton, Brian Eno, Daniel Lanois, Anton Corbijn, Steve Averill, David Batstone, René Castro. Importado, europeu.
'The Joshua tree' converteu o U2 na maior banda do mundo.
O enorme êxito do quinto disco do U2 projetou sobre o grupo uma sombra da qual tentava escapar até então, em uma fuga permanente que levou Bono e seus companheiros a tentarem se transformar a cada álbum.
Compondo novo material em 2006, o U2 se deu uma trégua para voltar a 'The Joshua tree', que mantém com os anos o espírito épico com o qual se conectaram milhões de seguidores em todo o mundo.
Do álbum, do qual foram vendidas 28 milhões de cópias, saíram hinos que os fãs cantam como salmos.
Bono conta no livreto que acompanha a edição especial do disco que 'A árvore de Josué' iria se chama "As duas Américas", porque tinha parte tão distintas quanto as diferenças entre norte e sul no imenso continente ocidental.
Como bons irlandeses, concebiam a América como a terra prometida e empreenderam uma turnê nos Estados Unidos, convencidos de que "não é só um país, mas uma idéia", e guiados pelo espírito dos autores americanos que admiravam, entre os quais, cita Bono, Tennessee Williams, James Baldwin, Alen Ginsberg, Charles Bukowkski e Sam Shepard.
Cruzaram desertos da Califórnia acompanhados pelo fotógrafo Anton Corbijn, que sugeriu a Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton e Larry Mullen que posassem junto a um cactos para a capa do álbum.
Curiosamente, a famosa árvore de 'Joshua' que acabou dando título ao disco não aparece na foto editada para capa, mas apenas em outras partes do encarte original. Mas Bono não parou nos desertos da Califórnia. Viajou à América Central com sua mulher, Ali, e confessa que estremeceu ao comprovar "o quão perigosa poderia ser a política exterior dos Estados Unidos para os países a seu redor". "Vi como a mesma gente que representava a liberdade para o resto do mundo estava bombardeando aldeias em El Salvador", afirma.
Aquele choque teve reflexo nas letras de 'The Joshua Tree', que era encerrado com 'Mothers Of The Disappeared', uma canção que, segundo o baixista Adam Clayton, "não é só uma reflexão sobre o que ocorreu sob o governo militar do Chile, como também quanto ao apoio dado pelos Estados unidos".
O U2 deixou também o testemunho de seu compromisso político em 'Wave Of Sorrow', música inédita anexada à nova versão do CD. É uma canção que ficou inacabada nas sessões de gravação originais e que Bono completou em 2007 com uma letra que recorda sua experiência como voluntário na Etiópia.
The Edge supervisionou diretamente a conversão ao formato digital das faixas analógicas do álbum, produzido com o auxílio de Brian Eno e Daniel Lanois.
