The original album cover shows a photograph of the back door of the Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge in the North York Moors. The Warner Brothers re-release shows the Lion Inn in the snow with an small inset picture of the band in front of the inn's back door.
The track "Catcote Rag" is a bass solo named after The Catcote, a pub in Hartlepool (now demolished) where Back Door played regularly.
“Slivadiv” was sampled by Beastie Boys as the intro to “Stand Together” on their 1992 album Check Your Head.
