[edit] Miscellanea
- Story has it that frontman Genesis P. Orridge's mother had asked him why he never did anything nice, and as a result the band dressed up like nice-guys for the album's cover photo. Although the LP cover seems quite pleasant, the band is standing on Beachy Head, a very popular location for those seeking to commit suicide in England.
