The album is named after a mnemonic used by music students to recall the notes (EGBDF) on the lines of the treble clef.
Along with their debut EP Superfuzz Bigmuff, the album was included in 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, with reviewer Jason Chow calling it "a classic album, one of the best of the genre."[2] There is an alternate version of "Check-Out Time" on the Let It Slide EP.
