    I credited the photo that graces this album's jacket. I said it was taken by Anton Corbijn who has taken the majority of U2's album covers and promotional photos throughout the band's career. This minimalist photo, however, is the work of Japanese artist and photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto. My sincere apologies for the error.
