Chapter 4 - War U2-Y

- Music
In the 4th episode of U2-Y, we discuss the album that closes the first trilogy of releases.
'War', released in 1983, was a highly respected record, with the design work itself netting Steve a Music Week award, much to his surprise.
We discuss how the record that gave us the iconic and potent track, 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', drew its influences from war photography, propaganda and newsprint iconography.
We also discuss the link back to the debut album and how the 'Boy' featured on one sleeve, who was once representing innocence, is now a symbol of tragedy.
This would also be the first time Steve would work with the great Anton Corbijn.
