I was going to go with a Beatles one too RL. A toss up between Sgt Pepper and Abbey Road.

 

Here's an interesting story about the AR sleeve being "doctored" to remove a cigarette.

This has definitely been done before. Although I think KING CRIMSON's "ITCHYCOCK" is by far the 'best' album cover, there's no doubt that "Dark Side of the Moon" is the most recognizable...

Normally I'd nail you for being anti-USA, but unfortunately you're exactly right. The anti-smoking forces in this country think nothing of re-writing history...what's a little historical misinformation compared to the overt propaganda that Americans are now used to?

The Beatles came at a time when people were willing to let other people pick their poison. Now people are so frightened of the secondhand smoke monster that the loss of personal responsibility and freedom seems like a fair price to pay. It's a small thing, but with huge implications.

It's gonna be really difficult if they decide to remove all the scenes with smoking from "A Hard Day's Night".

Damn, can you imagine trying to get rid of the cigarettes in Jimmy Page posters? Or Keith Richards? Or Humphrey Bogart? And forget about ever seeing "The Twilight Zone" again.

James:

Re "historical misinformation" and "fear," are you aware that they not only changed the opening scene of the first Spiderman film (which showed Spiderman capturing two crooks by creating a web between the two World Trade Center towers), but that some studios have actually "brushed out" the towers so as not to cause anyone "trauma?"  Hey, I know that it was one of the most traumatic moments in many people's lives - heck, I was only a couple of miles from it when it happened, and I was affected too.

But eliminating "references" to the WTC from films, TV programs, etc.?  I think that's just a tad overboard, and of a piece with airbrushing out cigarettes.

Peace.
