The album's title refers to its Capitol Records catalog number, a device previously used by Peter, Paul & Mary (Album 1700, 1967), and which would later be used for albums released by Dave Davies (AFL1-3603, 1980) and Yes (90125, 1983). In the 2021 documentary on Brewer & Shipley One Toke Over the Line ... and Still Smokin', Mike Brewer explains that the decision to name the album after its catalog number followed an encounter with a record executive who referred to the artists' music as "product."

Stephen Stills's band Manassas recorded Brewer's song "Bound to Fall" for their 1972 debut album, two years in advance of its appearance on ST11261.
