Question 1416

"Live Scenes from X" is a live album by a certain American band. The album was recorded live in August 2000 in the city X. The album cover was based on an earlier album cover that depicted a heart in flames. As the live concert was held in the the city X, they changed the heart in flames to depict something else. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, the band was forced to recall the album and re-release it with an alternate album cover.

    The city was New York, so the album had to be renamed as it was to be released soon after 9/11.

    the album was recalled because the cover pic appears to depict the WTC twin towers on fire.

    Hmmm... Why recalled ? I think it because it was depicting that twin tower in flames in the cover [WTC] - referring to the 9/11 :/ Not sure tho.
