[2] BBC disc jockey John Peel heard this album and was so impressed by it that he played it in its entirety on his show.

[3][4] In his review of the follow-up, Spasm Smash XXXOXOX Ox & Ass in Melody Maker, Everett True stated that his copy had included "a Far Side birthday card, the foreword to a book on setting up private hospital rooms, an advice sheet on insurance, some small intestines, and a cloth sleeve which is too small for the LP to fit inside".

[5] The album was re-released in the United States by Homestead Records on CD and LP.

Subsequent British and Japanese issues of the album contained considerable (and different) bonus material.

The remaining bonus tracks are from Our Scars Like Badges, the first Trumans Water seven-inch EP (Homestead Records, 1992).
