It’s been documented
The single sleeve, shot by Anton Corbijn, featured a black-and-white photo of The Edge sitting on arid, sandy ground with his shadow stretched behind him. On vinyl and cassette formats, The Edge is looking forward. For CD (as well as the outer “long box†housing the cassette version in some territories), an alternate photo was used, with The Edge looking to one side. “With or Without You†was the first U2 single to be released on CD concurrently with other formats.
