Release

In early 2004, Time Warner's music division Warner Music Group was sold to a group of private investors, however, New Line Records remained with Time Warner, and the rights to the album currently belong with Time Warner's corporate successor Warner Bros. Discovery, rather than with Warner Music Group.
