Miscellanea

* There are two versions of the album. The original, rare, independently-released version which features the hidden song "Melanie" before the first song and the one released on Hybrid/Sire Records in which the hidden song is the 11th track on the album.

* Due to the limited budget of the album, no b-sides were recorded besides a song called "Happy Birthday Ken" which was a gift to Ken Goldman, who had housed the band in California when they were recording.

* In concert, it is a tradition for fans to throw ping-pong balls onto the stage at the end of "Airport Song". This is done in reference to the game of ping-pong that can be heard as the music fades at the end of the studio track.
