The album includes "Breadfan", one of the band's better known songs. Metallica recorded a cover version of "Breadfan" in 1987. The first pressings of the vinyl LP included a chiming Big Ben and a spoken intro of Winston Churchill's speech to the Commons in 1940 - however, due to legal problems, this had to be removed on later pressings and has remained that way on all CD issues to date.
The album cover was done by Roger Dean.
