[1] Originally conceived by singer Pete Burns as a Halloween release, the horror-themed "Something in My House" was delayed until late December in the UK, amid wrangling between the band and their record company, with the latter feeling the track was "too brutal" to be a single.

A further 12" white label mix, known as "Naughty XXX", was released to club DJs, featuring a series of dialogue clips from horror film The Exorcist (1973) - with the track described as "unique" in its capacity as the only example of a "filthy, obscene [and] sexually explicit" Stock Aitken Waterman record.
