U2 are planning to reissue their landmark 1987 album 'The Joshua Tree' to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

The reissue is due out in the US on November 20 via UMe.

It will be available as a remastered CD, a two CD set, a two CD/one DVD collectable box set and a double vinyl package, according to Billboard.

Although final details are yet to be released, the expanded editions will reportedly include rare 'Joshua Tree' demos, alternate versions and B-sides, as well as new liner notes written by band members.

It is also said to include a July 4, 1987 show at the Paris Hippodrome and the documentary 'Outside It's America'.

'The Joshua Tree' helped catapult U2 to international stardom and includes the hit singles 'Where The Streets Have No Name' and 'I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For'.
