This is an intimate photographic record of the band U2.
From the vault of the Irish rock magazine Hot Press comes a book that traces the band from their humble beginnings to their sold-out appearances around the world.
Many of the photographs have never-before published photographs.
One of the great books about U2 – it’s a celebration of the iconic four-piece from Dublin, who were championed from the start by Hot Press – and have been described by Rolling Stone as The Greatest Rock Band in the World.

FIVE STARS …. This is one of the first books I bought on U2 ~ so I'm nostalgic.
Also HotPress introduced the world to U2 and Niall Stokes’ name screams HotPress
A treasure! … This book features, amongst much else, a series of revealing interviews with Bono, Larry, Adam and the Edge, reviews of all the albums, major concert coverage, exclusive archive material and hundreds of photographs in colour and black & white, many not seen before. Great book .... It's all about the early days with fantastic B/W and color photos of the band.
AWESOME book with UNpublished photos ….. You absolutely MUST own this book if you are a serious U2 fan. Several pictures in this book cannot be found elsewhere. This book also gives great insight to the humble beginnings of this incredible Irish band.
