My copy of Anthem of the Sun is Remixed, yet it has a purple background
and swirly lettering. The remixed album has been released with both
white and purple covers. 

I agree that the remixed version is cleaner, but some material has been
eliminated. On Anthem, there was a bunch of weirdness during 
That's It for the Other One. On Aoxomoxoa, the ending of Doin' That Rag
was chopped off. Why didi they do that? That ending was great!! (The
Dead singing one Acappella chorus of "Everywhere I go, the people all
know, everybody's doin' that rag!")
