Album artwork

Album artwork was photographed by Scott Council, who went on to a successful career in entertainment photography. The images were photographed in Ventura, CA and Ojai, CA. Marty Johnston was the graphic designer.

The booklet from original release was printed as a blue and black duotone on white paper with hidden elements in a high gloss varnish, while the reissue was printed in full color and had slightly different artwork.

Four of its tracks were re-recorded for the band's major label release In Moderation on Warner Bros. Records/Reprise Records. In 2007, three songs were featured in the short film He's Not My...,[1] which was produced by Contempovision Films.
