The CD comes packaged with a bonus DVD (Region 2) featuring the short promo film "Survival Guide to Soviet Kitsch" and the music video for the song "Us".
(These are the same materials found on the DVD that accompanied some US and Australian editions of Soviet Kitsch.)
The title comes from two tracks on the compilation that mention a character named Mary Ann ("Sailor Song" and "Mary Ann") and two tracks that mention gravediggers ("Consequence of Sounds" and "Pavlov’s Daughter").
The cover art was drawn by Julie Morstad and is done in the style of Edward Gorey.
The cover and booklet in the CD contains art work by artist Julie Morstad.
