Release variations
- The first 200 copies of the original pressing on Roadkill Records included an insert which featured pictures of the band bowling naked.
- Roadkill Records originally pressed 2000 copies of the record. In 1991, they did a second pressing of 176 copies, which, according to Ben Weasel, was done to fill up extra jackets that the label had left over. The album was remixed for the 2nd pressing and this version was featured on all subsequent reissues of the album.
- The Wetspots release of the album features an entirely different cover (a cartoon drawing of a paperboy flipping off an old man). This cover was reproduced inside the booklet of the CD reissue by Asian Man Records.
- The Lookout! version is green with lyrics in the booklet. Ben later claimed that the color was changed from pink to green to signify that the band was "cashing in".
- The Asian Man version is pink with lyrics and additional liner notes.
- Reissued on vinyl by Recess Records in 2008. The album came with a gatefold jacket with all the lyrics and liner notes (same as those on the Asian Man CD reissue) printed on the inner gatefold. The first 500 copies came on grey vinyl. The album features the same cover art as the Asian Man CD, except the text (band name and album title) were removed.
