Notes

* A warning label that says "R: Recommended Adult Listening" appears on the cover of the album. This was an early example of warning people that albums contain questionable content before the Parental Advisory label was invented.
* In "How's Your Dog?", Carlin makes a refernce to a dog named "Tippy". Tippy was a female dog, he had as a pet.
