This album has many samples from the 2000 documentary film Cunnamulla about the outback town of Cunnamulla, Queensland.

The album's cover artwork features a photograph of drummer Gordy Forman's father Jimmy, and the booklet features other photos of Forman's family from the 1970s and 80s.[1]

Initial pressings of the Australian album came with a bonus DVD with some live footage and three film clips.

An alternative version of Cocksucker appears on the Uncontrollable Fatulence compilation released in 2002.
