The back cover of the album contained a picture of Elvis Presley with the words "The King" below it as a response to their previous release, the Pick Your King EP, which had a picture of Jesus on the front and Elvis on the back.

The artwork, coupled with the title, is a joke at the expense of guitarist Pig Champion, as it is a picture of his extensive record collection.


Critical reception


Trouser Press wrote that "the blind rage of songs like 'Die on Your Knees' and 'Don’t Like It Here' ... is as formidable as pre-domestication Iggy."[5] AllMusic wrote that the EP "fine-tune[ed] the band's blistering sound and fatalistic worldview."[2]
