I wonder if WarnerMedia/WaterTower Music has replaced the stand-in performance of the introduction to Also Sprach Zarathustra by Karl Böhm and the Berlin Philharmoniker on Deutsche Grammophon with the actual film performance by Herbert von Karajan and the Wiener Philharmoniker from Decca?

Since Universal Music Group owns both DG and Decca now, what’s to prevent the switch?

They always make such boneheaded decisions with the commissioned art. Your eye is drawn to the leopard, too, which makes it even weirder. What the hell...

Typical FSM habitual poster dopiness on the "issue" of the cover.
For those who haven't seen, or are simply too dense, to acquire the theme of 2001: A Space Odyssey, the cover represents the moment in the history of human emergence when the proto-humanoids of the movie's introductory sequence sit poised between extinction, represented by the glowing-eyed leopard, and the limitless future, represented by the monolith.
As for the "key art" complaint: you obviously aren't familiar with Mondo's vinyl M.O. The whole point is to do something striking and fresh. Not key-art.

Remastered? I will never understand (and please don't wast your time explaining it to me) why anyone would buy these things - you can get the original LP for fifty cents in mint condition - what a funny old world this is. I can't wait for the day when all these vinyl whatever they ares have killed the CD and then a decade later decide they must have CDs again.
