Beschreibung

Explore the fascinating stories behind every song and every album ever recorded by the band that has won more Grammys than any other musical act.

U2 All the Songs is the complete, behind-the-scenes chronicle of the five-decade-long recording history of one of the most successful and enduring rock bands of all time. Beginning with the founding of the band in 1976-when then 14-year-old drummer Larry Mullens Jr posted a note on a school bulletin board in Dublin-it traces band's evolution from their post-punk beginnings on the "Boy" album to the immersive spectacle of their groundbreaking Sphere shows in Las Vegas. Organized chronologically, and covering every album and every song that U2 has ever released, including B-sides, compilation tracks, and lesser-known album tracks, the book explores how each song was written and recorded, revealing the band's creative process, inspirations, and the cultural moments that shaped their sound.

The result of years of research by two megafans and longtime music journalists, U2 All the Songs features hundreds of photographs, including rare black-and-white publicity stills, images of instruments used by the band, and engaging shots of the musicians in-studio, this is a must-have book for every fan.
