The album cover is notable for mimicking M. C. Escher's Relativity, but featuring imagery inspired by each of the song titles.

In 2014, Loyd Boldman and Rick Fields (founding members of Prodigal and sole owners of all rights to the sound recordings, videos, artwork, images, and music publishing of the complete Prodigal library) released a 3 CD boxed set of all 3 Prodigal albums remastered for digital on Fields' Silver Orb Media label. Shortly after the re-issue was announced, Loyd Boldman died after a long illness.
