9 March 1987 – U2 Released Their Magnum Opus ‘THE JOSHUA TREE’ This Day 37 Years Ago

9 March 2024

On 9 March 1987 – 37 years ago today – U2 released their worldwide magnum opus
THE JOSHUA TREE. The Irish rockers fifth album, produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian

their commercial and competitive desire to confirm their already huge status in the U.S.
of A., the band chose America as a central theme for the record.
