The song "Babylon" featured scratching by one time club DJ Riki Rachtman. Riki was Taime Downe's roommate and together they opened the nightclub Cathouse.
The band performed "Cathouse" and "Bathroom Wall" in the film The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, and they were interviewed in the segment as well.
The album was reissued on CD by UK-based company Rock Candy Records, with expanded liner notes and photos.
Unlike most of the rest of their music, this album is generally seen as just being a pure glam metal album without the later blues or industrial influences they would take in.[5][6][7][8][9]
In 2005, Faster Pussycat was ranked number 498 in Rock Hard magazine's book of The 500 Greatest Rock & Metal Albums of All Time.[10]
