The re-mix had >white background, and normal lettering. 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!")
