" The album was originally released on Alternative Tentacles. 

 The center label on vinyl printings invited listeners to play the record at 69 RPM, a joke referencing the famous sex position.  

The album's back cover features a mildly distorted image of famed Mexican luchador Santo.  

Kurt Cobain listed the EP in his top fifty albums of all time.  

The sessions for Butthole Surfers were made possible by an earlier Butthole Surfers concert at Los Angeles, California's Whisky a Go Go, where they had opened for Dead Kennedys and T.S.O.L.  

The band gained an early admirer in Dead Kennedys' lead vocalist Jello Biafra, who also ran Dead Kennedys' Alternative Tentacles record label. 

 Biafra told the band that, if they got someone to loan them studio time, Alternative Tentacles would reimburse the studio once the album was complete 

According to guitarist Paul Leary, the band then talked Bob O'Neill, owner of San Antonio, Texas' BOSS Studios, (a.k.a. Bob O'Neill's Sound Studio, a.k.a. the Boss), into loaning them the required time. 

 Joe Pugliese, a San Antonio music promoter, recalled that 

lead singer Gibby Haynes 

 slept at the studio 

 during these sessions.  

Mike Taylor, an engineer at BOSS Studios, assisted with the EP's production. Taylor would later record and assemble the contents of 1984's Live PCPPEP.
