The title Singles Breaking Up is a reference to the Buzzcocks' 1979 singles collection Singles Going Steady, and the unique photos in the liner notes which show the words "DON CABALLERO" spelled out with seven inch vinyl singles being "broken up" as cars drive over them.

NOT included in this collection (possibly due to their poor sound quality) are "Waltor" and "Shuman Center 91", two songs recorded live in 1992 and released on a free single included with Chunklet magazine #11 in 1996.

"Belted Sweater" on this collection is a different, earlier recording than the one that appears on For Respect. "Our Caballero", however, is the same version on both albums.

The song title "If You've Read Dr. Adder Then You Know What I Want" refers to the cyberpunk novel Dr. Adder by K.W. Jeter.

A medley of the songs "Trey Dog's Acid" and "Room Temperature Lounge" called "Room Temperature Suite" was released on What Burns Never Returns in 1998.
