The majority of the first 1,500 vinyl copies were destroyed due to bad pressing quality.[14] The third track "Pack Yr Romantic Mind" was re-recorded because the song initially had a George Harrison sample the band was unable to receive permission to use.[14] The end of the last track, "Lock-Groove Lullaby", extends into a lock groove repeating a phrase sampled from Perrey and Kingsley's "The Savers" on their album Kaleidoscopic Vibrations: Spotlight on the Moog.
The LP's sleeve design and liner notes were adapted from a hi-fi test record issued by Hi-Fi Sound magazine in 1969;[15] the record itself is sampled in the track "Jenny Ondioline".[16]
