The Offspring has rarely played any songs from this album live since the Ignition tour finished in 1994.

The album was released on June 15, 1989, in limited numbers by Nemesis Records, only in 12" vinyl and cassette format.

When it was released, the album initially sold 5,000 copies and it took the band two and a half years to sell them all.

To support the album, The Offspring embarked on a six-week national tour, but Noodles was stabbed during a performance at the Hollywood anti-nuclear benefit.

For a long time, it had been incorrectly assumed that there were three distinct recordings of "Hey Joe" due to the song being erroneously credited as "previously unreleased" when it was re-released officially in 1996.

The original version features an image of a man's body exploding as the xenomorph from the Alien franchise holding a Fender Stratocaster emerges from his chest.

There is a report, which remains unconfirmed, that the album was banned from retail stores due to the "grotesque" cover.
