[edit] Notes

  • In Track 1, there is a brief instance of backmasking when the "opening act" is introduced. When played in reverse, the announcer can be heard saying, "Mr. Reginald Warrington. Give it up for Reginald Warrington!"
  • There is another use of backmasking at the start of Track 15. When played in reverse, the "favorite joke" is as follows:

"So I'm walking down the street, right? And I saw this prostitute, right? And I said, 'How much?' She said, 'For $300, I'll do anything you want.' I said, 'Bitch, paint my house!'"
