[edit] Miscellanea
- The LP release of this title is a double album, but only has music on three sides. The fourth side label proclaims "there is no music on this side", and the record has a groove that quickly leads to the inner bump track.
- The song "Wild West" contains a quote from the theme of "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly".
