NOTES:
US version issued in standard CD case, there is also a second “Mastered By Nimbus” version of the CD, also issued on vinyl, CD in Europe, vinyl with poster in the US, and cassette.

European issue has the ARRCD 16/127 catalogue number rather than ARR 89192-2.

The final image of Cristina Martinez taken by Michael Lavine on August 23, 1990 (posted online February, 2020) would appear to be from the same shoot as the photo used on the rear of the cover insert.

nb. In an NME interview Jon Spencer refers to this album as “Straight Up” which suggests this may have been the original title.

Gerard appeared on the Ugly American Overkill compilation.

Amphetamine Reptile Records also issued a promotional photograph of the band photo used on the album artwork (nb. the cassette issue features a slightly different band photo from the same session).

According to an article in New York Magazine titled “She’s The Boss” the cover image is a ‘take off’ of a Cindy Crawford advert for Halston.
