U2 War MFSL
c This cd is the recording that put U2 on the map as a band that is to be reconded with as one of the rising superstars in the rock n roll scene. Highlighted by two powerhouse songs: Sunday Bloody Sunday and New Years Day this recording is one of the timeless classics produced by the now mega superstar band U2.
While the album that put U2 on the map, WAR is a recording that is full of messages that protest the atrocities of the Northern Ireland conflict. Sunday Bloody Sunday is a song that was written in direct protest of the war in northern Ireland. Edited from the original recordings this song previously opened with comments about the rights of the IRA.
U2 War debuted February 28, 1983. The recording went straight to the top of the UK charts and became U2's first #1 album when it suplanted Michael Jacksons Thriller on the top of the charts. New Years Day became the bands first to reach the top ten hit on the billboard charts and top 100 of the hot billboard charts.
The tracks on the recording include:
- Sunday Bloody Sunday
- Seconds
- New Years Day
- Like a Song
- Drowning Man
- The Refugee
- Two Hearts Beat as One
- Red Light
- Surrender
- 40
The production of U2 on MFSL Cds was a transition to produce a recording that did not fit the bill as a one of the superstar rock bands of the 70's and the 80's. Like all of the MFSL recordings the sounds are much more crisp on the recording. The ability to hear Edge's guitar in its cleanest form allows the listener to get a true appreciation of the complexities of the music U2 produced.
