The album features two covers; "Not So Manic Now" which was originally recorded by Brick Supply on their 1994 EP Somebody's Intermezzo, and "St. Swithin's Day" which was originally recorded by Billy Bragg on his 1984 album Brewing Up with Billy Bragg.

Artwork censorship

Disgraceful's cover underwent a revision after some time on general release. The original cover—pictured here—contained a furry blue pencil case with a balloon inside, creating a somewhat labia-like effect. This was later revised to the current, slightly less blatant bunny slipper design.

Critical reception

A reviewer from British magazine Music Week wrote, "Delicate, poignant pop from the Gateshead trio, with Sarah Blackwood's voice soaring above synthesised melodies and strings."[3]
