because the "dark ages" comment had to do with the "Wife beating has been around for 10,000 years" headline that was also featured on the original cover.? after Axl was sued for physical/sexual abuse by Stephanie and Erin, the record label altered the cover.

if you look around you can find some old CDs with the original cover art, but you'll mostly only find it on the LP cover.
