RCA moved the United States CD from September 25 to October 9, 2001, and the band replaced \"New York City Cops\" with \"When It Started,\" written and recorded for the purpose. They told MTV at the time that the decision followed the response of the city's police department after the September 11 attacks. The American vinyl, which had shipped on September 11 itself, kept the original running order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sleeve is particular to this edition as well.
