It was produced by Daniel Lanois and Brian Eno, and was released on 9 March 1987 on Island Records.

The Joshua Tree mistakenly left in frame. Since the compact disc was a relatively new format at the time, the creative team decided to experiment with the album cover, selecting different cover images for each format on which the album was released; early pressings on compact disc and cassette tape used a blurry, distorted photo of the band. "Rolling Stone" said that the album's title and the images of the tree befit a record concerned with "resilience in the face of utter social and political desolation, a record steeped in religious imagery". In 1991, the magazine ranked "The Joshua Tree" at number 97
