Trivia
- If Wreckless Eric's accounts are to be believed, then "Sweet Gene Vincent" was composed on 1 December 1976, the same day as the Sex Pistols' infamous appearance on the Today show (hosted by Bill Grundy). Eric gives an account in Sex And Drugs And Rock And Roll: The Life Of Ian Dury of being invited 'round to Dury's flat that day, only to interrupt them working on a new song, when he asked what the song was called, "Sweet Gene Vincent" was the reply.
- Written on the back of the album's sleeve, below the track list is 'there's nothing wrong with it!!' this was apparently the reaction of the musicians upon hearing the first playback of their work.
- The cover shot was taken outside the Axford lingerie shop on Vauxhall Bridge Road, Westminster - a stone's throw from Victoria Station. On the opposite side of the road was the Woolworths store, the name of which can be seen reflected in the shop window.

Famous quotes containing the word trivia:
“The most refined skills of color printing, the intricate techniques of wide-angle photography, provide us pictures of trivia bigger and more real than life. We forget that we see trivia and notice only that the reproduction is so good. Man fulfils his dream and by photographic magic produces a precise image of the Grand Canyon. The result is not that he adores nature or beauty the more. Instead he adores his camera—and himself.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“Pop artists deal with the lowly trivia of possessions and equipment that the present generation is lugging along with it on its safari into the future.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
