[edit] Album cover art

I just noticed that the version of the cover art shown in the article has the World Trade Center erased from the background. The album artwork i have in iTunes features the towers, quite prominently actually, as well as all of the results on the Google image search. My two questions are

1. Why did the uploader of the picture erase the towers (the comparison can be seen through the link to the original image from Amazon.com 2. Should the original cover be featured here instead - 99.237.9.80 (talk) 02:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I changed this, and then someone reverted it. I reverted it back, I don't understand why the correct version of the album cover isn't shown here. The album cover was NEVER released commercially with the towers removed. The uploader erased the towers themselves, which confuses me. The CD was released in 2004, it wasn't like the CD was released on September 10, 2001 and then they decided to change it. The cover with the towers is the correct version, why is this incorrect and altered version being displayed here? It also says in the significance section that the towers are on the album cover. Won't this confuse the readers if the album cover pictured in the article has the towers removed? The whole point of the album was a tribute to New York City, the Beastie Boys hown town, and also about the post 9/11 world. Erasing the towers just seems to destroy the whole point of the album. - 99.237.9.80 (talk) 08:50, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Stop reverting this. I am right and you are wrong. Leave it alone, and leave it CORRECT AND ACCURATE. - 99.237.9.80 (talk) 16:52, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
