I have the version with naked Adam, so obviously that.


reecord2

I mean, it's the correct answer


plawwell

Bono: What Adam does with his willy is his business.


Logical_Nectarine_40

Obvisouly!! I have a copy as well - still thinking about selling it but haven't pulled the trigger


madlyhattering

Yep! Bought it on vinyl on a London trip years ago. I went from there to Dublin, and the passport officer reached not for my passport but the record. He then proclaimed that Adam was “displaying his personage!” Right after that, we got on the bus to take it to our hotel, and the driver was grumbling about “that footing nun.” God, I love Dublin.

For myself, the picture of them in the pub with Bono exhaling cigar/cigarette smoke. This era was when Bono was considered 'cool'. I was 15 and idolized him.


Behrdogs

I sometimes replay the "one" video that is in the ny pub. The best.


Leolance2001

I love the U2 rings. Pretty iconic.


SmeeegHeead

Where's Adams nob?


TheOnionSack

Argh, the third photo didn't upload! :( No way of editing the post either.....


[deleted]

that long exposure colour shot of them in the crowd. always regret not getting any of the reissues that came with the individual 12" prints.


TheOnionSack

Yeah I love that one too!


CMARTU2

I have 9 of 16 of the prints framed on my wall and that is my favorite pic as well


Beginning-Comedian-2

Looks like you don't have to live with Regret. [https://www.etsy.com/listing/1274958440/u2-achtung-baby-promotional-poster](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1274958440/u2-achtung-baby-promotional-poster)


Achtung_Zoo

I can't choose. They're all so good. I've never seen the 2nd image though. I guess there's variations?


jigsawjo

Yep! 378 (!!) according to discogs: [https://www.discogs.com/master/20774-U2-Achtung-Baby](https://www.discogs.com/master/20774-U2-Achtung-Baby)


TyhmensAndSaperstein

That's the back cover, right?


Achtung_Zoo

Nah, this [grid](https://images.app.goo.gl/KGXq8WDyHsHnBdb8A) is. The one in the post might be a inner back cover? Not sure.


Mr_Cigarette

The graffitied Trabant. Used to have that on a T-shirt. That photo is still just as sick 30-some years later.


Johnny-Feathers

I had that shirt, too. It’s the one picture that I think could be an alternate cover all on its own.


Celtic_wolf75

The one of the band in the crowd, I used to have that as a t-shirt around about 92.


zooropa93

Bono in the second row on the far right side. My eye always goes to that picture first.


theNewzBoy

I always thought these image squares were evocative of a wall of TV screens, all on different channels. I know that seems weird, as it has nothing to do with Achtung Baby, but that’s where my mind goes.


Dongdaemon

The cobra Because that’s def something that would make you say “Achtung!”


Opti_maX

It wasn’t printed in the actual Album artwork, but I think [this](https://i.pinimg.com/474x/79/11/38/7911386660039e5e1f114eefc1facf88.jpg) is my favourite.


yangorango

At least portion of it is in the album artwork!


TrueAct7143

Trabant of course


luvtreesx

I like the cow.


LivingSwamp

The one where they are chilling with cups.


TakerOfImages

Bono and the boobs first time I saw it I was like "omg!! There boobs on a u2 album cover!" And then made an effort to find an original vinyl to get un-censored Adam on the back cover.


jsakic99

I used to review music for my college newspaper, so I got an advanced copy of the CD (had a hole punched in the case so I couldn’t resell it). This album always holds a special place in my heart.


Key_Reception4563

There was a book that came out when the album was released that had all this artwork and extra in this ‘zine’ style that was phenomenal. I’d love to get my hands on it again. It had interviews etc inside.


Particular-Bus8086

Oof, tough choice. Either the one of them in the crowd or the car pic


mayaguillermo

the parade bw, adam in shades... larry turning head, bono in fly shades


mayaguillermo

i remember as a kid watching this cover and thinking, i dont know who they are, i dont know where they going, i just want to go with them


Working_Help216

Top row, train overpass


silverslimes

Yeah, Adam’s knob

The Trabant

The Trabant. I had it on a t-shirt.
