The release came after guitarist Eric "Vegetable" Olsen left the band and he is listed as "Retired" on the original cassette (his nickname is also misspelled as "The Vegtable").

The record's cover featured the spread buttocks and anus of Kevin Marshall, the roommate of Poison Idea guitarist Pig Champion.

Ian MacKaye, who had never met the members of Poison Idea and had no issues with band prior to the record, was unhappy about the cover.

[4] Regarding Ian MacKaye (the person), in a 2015 interview, Jerry said: I’m a little bit sorry that he doesn’t like that record, but I think the problem is that he always gets asked about it by people who are drunken assholes.
