Provenance - The current owner who resides in Ireland acquired the album from his uncle on his death, he tells the story in his own words.

'Stewart was someone who introduced me to music and a wide variety of bands. 
In 1987 in or around March there was much anticipation about U2's new release. Stew, through his contacts, found out that the band were going to play a small gig for BBC2 Whistle Test on Sunday 8th March 1987 at the BBC studio Balmoral Showgrounds in South Belfast. He thought he could swing some tickets for me too but ended up that he only managed to get himself a ticket despite his alleged best efforts!
The gig went ahead on that Sunday evening ahead of the release of Joshua Tree the next day on 9th March. After the gig they headed to a now defunct record shop called Makin Tracks in the centre of Belfast. There was a real tradition for the shop to open at midnight so fans could purchase the album and the band were there to meet and greet fans. Stew got the band to sign his vinyl'.
