"Don't Let's Start", one of the album's two singles, is often cited as a key track in the band's catalogue, and its success contributed positively to the sale of the album.[1] As a result of this prominence, when the band made the move to the major label Elektra Records, "Don't Let's Start" was reissued in Europe with alternative B-sides.
In July 2014, the band released a live version of the album at no charge on NoiseTrade.[2][3] All the songs were recorded during the band's 2013 tour.[2]
