Production

The album was produced by Jon Tiven, who also played guitar in place of Chilton.[8] The album title is a play on both the Box Tops and the phrase "rock bottom."[9]

Critical reception

The Orlando Sentinel wrote that "nothing is pretty on Bach's Bottom, but it's all beautiful in a scary, decrepit sort of way."[5] The Spin Alternative Record Guide deemed the album a "major 'lost'-era work."[7] Stereo Review called it an "unholy mess of an album," writing that "if you like Chilton at his most ludicrously dissolute, you'll be glad to have it."[10]
