• The release came in a folded and hand-pressed sleeve which is referred as uni-pak style album jacket. The inner sleeve shows artwork with four microphones, the record sleeve shows an illustration on one side, and a lengthy medical text Resuscitation from apparent death by electric shock on the other side.

• The Vinyl has engravings in the run-out groove of both sides - all written in CAPS: (1) "Smoking is as natural as breathing. They've been doing it since before i was born..." (2) "... which is a shame, because i could have invented it. - Todd Stanford Trainer 1994"

• Action Park was an infamous theme park in New Jersey, which closed in 1996 due to numerous fatalities.
