^ I fully understand now and respect your pov, and by no means do I pretend to seem inflexible on this question of "The Right Cover"  (or offend anybody's feelings in the course) - any rule has its own exceptions  (and that's a rule  Confused)

So the question is up to debate - I will certainly and gladly abide to the common decision that comes up  Thumbs Up

All is good then, thanks anyway

So you are saying you won't change the cover to the one that doesn't show the NYC skyline burning? I just feel it's a bit insensitive to keep that one not just because of the whole 9/11 thing but also the other one is way more common. I could go on and on here but hopefully you guys will do the right thing. Yes, I realize the controversial cover is the original one but maybe you can make an exception since it's kind of a touchy thing especially for those in the US(like me). Anyway, at least please consider it. Also, please read the back story as to why the cover was changed in the first place. I see you aren't from the US so maybe it's difficult for you to understand why this is important to me so please try to understand it from someone from here and the impact those events had on our lives. We don't need the reminder when we look at the album cover there in the discography.

Hey, there's this new thing called wikipedia. Wink https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Scenes_from_New_York Anyway, the top album cover listed is the one I propose switching it to. You can find it on either photobucket or just by searching google.

I posted this in the "I have a question for you" section but received no responses so I thought I would also post it here. This isn't really an error or omission although I guess it could be considered an error(at least imo).

Here is my original post:

I'm curious as to why the original album cover for Dream Theater's "Live from New York" is the one shown and not the one considered less offensive. It seems kind of wrong to me to show the original considering the reason why it was pulled from the shelf when it first came out. Aside from that if someone wants to buy it they might look for it based on that picture and not be able to find it(since apparently that version is incredibly rare).

Hi, snake, problem solved as I checked.
(I did nothing - already happened also to me the upload taking some time to complete, we just have to wait and check back later on, just to be sure)

Thanks

Here's the file:

When I added this album, the cover didn't show up on the page. I think it's because it was smaller than 600 px.

Hi, Tuzvihar:

No, as far as I could see the problem was fixed.

^ Yes, but You needn't to add it in the first place 'cos it was already here. Explanation in another thread:

Originally posted by someone_else in <a href=http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=59458&PID=5486954#5486954 rel=nofollow>here</a> someone_else in here wrote:

The album Rocket! The Dreams of Wubbo Ockels is added under two different (but closely related) monikers:
Plackband (with a 5-star review by Tarcisio Moura) and PBII (19 ratings, no reviews). The latter is the correct one (the band's name anyway).


So, we still have two entries for this album.
