War — 1983

A fierce, political early peak, home to 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' and 'New Year's Day'. Urgent and anthemic. The album that broke them. Not the headline release, but a genuine highlight.

On vinyl: Vintage copies and modern reissues both circulate — worth comparing condition and remaster notes.
