I think that's just a sticker maybe?

I assumed that at first, but since when do they show stickers on the mockups with the record coming out of it?
Maybe it is, but messing with the music is my main problem with it. Part of the appeal was getting proper versions of these but I can't say that's the case now. And if they're willing to cut a song, who knows what other alterations there may be. I get being... embarrassed, maybe the Surfers themselves wanted the song removed. But for a B.S. song that has the word "negro" in the title, it could be a lot worse. Why not just change the title to "Observer?"
"I Wanna Be Black" isn't the best Lou Reed song but I'm not buying a version of Street Hassle that doesn't have it.

the remasters are very good though, heard the download versions and they're definitely improvements over the 1999 (?) reissues.
