This album had secret messages that were only heard on manually operated record players. Automatic ones lifted the needle before the extreme last groove went by. Side A had someone saying, "Turn me over." Side B had, "Play me again."During the recording process, the friends of the band kept asking, "When's yer' album coming out?" The album name was named for that question.
