When originally released, the album cover was printed on both the outside and inside. In one vinyl release, the inside jacket of the album had a picture of a road with a car traveling on it with sign in the distance that said: "Life is a test. Had this been a real life, you would have been told where to go and what to do" — a satire of the message broadcast by the Emergency Broadcast System.
Outtakes were included on the Marty Balin albums Balince and Nothin' 2 Lose: The Lost Studio Recordings.
