The album was Nevermind of course, and the title said so, but I had to lose three characters so I substituted it with 'album'.

There are a lot of interesting (or concerning) things about this saga, but the Guardian surprised me by simply showing the whole photo, tiny winkle and all. Over the course of this slowly unfolding case media have often opted to censor the image by cropping or black bars.

That should not be necessary, but the urge to self-censor appears strong in these cases.
