[1] The Los Angeles band Manhole caught the attention of Noise Records, who asked the Los Angeles band to be a part of their 1995 compilation The Fall and the Rise of Los Angeles, and the positive response to their appearance on the compilation led to the band signing a recording contract with the label.

[1] After meeting with producers who wanted to tone down the content of Tairrie B's lyrics or replace the rest of the band with different musicians, the Los Angeles band was introduced to Ross Robinson by the band Korn, and decided to hire him as the producer for their debut, due to Manhole liking the production on Korn's debut album.

[1] The lyrics of All Is Not Well dealt with subject matter such as rape, violence against women, abortion and racism.

[1] The album was subsequently reissued by Noise with the cover and band name changed.

[3] In 2020, Tairrie B released the Manhole and Tura Satana albums for free on Bandcamp accounts, alongside additional content.
