[edit] Supplemental information

• On the European release of Quality Control, one track differs - track 14 is "Concrete and Clay" (replacing "Improvise"). The track is something of a reprise or re-working of the song "Concrete Schoolyard" from their debut album, Jurassic 5 LP, and the two songs share the same chorus.
• The Australian edition of the album included a second disc containing instrumental versions of each of the tracks.
• The track "Improvise" was featured on the English version of the cult Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in the US).
