U2 played a gig for 950 fans in Somerville, Massachusetts on Wednesday at which they revealed they would like to re-record some of their earlier material including the 1980 album Boy.Speaking to the crowd, lead singer Bono said: "I would love to sing that album again and finish that. The early records, there's some beautiful songs that feel a little bit unfinished to us."He went on to explain he'd like to change his use of a "phoney English accent" on the album.Earlier in the week guitarist The Edge, after revealing to MTV that even his mother calls him The Edge, said: "There are so many U2 songs that I am quite happy not to play."We still want to rewrite some of them, and who knows we may at some point re-release a few of our early albums with a few changes."
