'Thirty years since their Irish debut single, U2 have embarked on a comprehensive programme of remastering and reissuing. This week, their first three albums, Boy, October and War are released in deluxe editions that include previously unreleased songs.

The piece is written by Neil McCormick, who also wrote the sleeve notes for the remastered version of October.
