Although issued on a major label, Mercury Records, only 500 copies were pressed of the original 1969 issue.
The song "Marrow Bones" is also known as "Tippin' It Up (to Nancy)".
Christy Moore has printed up a limited number of CD copies that, as of October 2010, are for sale at his gigs and his website.
In 2016, the album was re-released on vinyl for Record Store Day in the UK and Ireland, however the recording of this LP appears to be identical to the CD copy, which was a poor, non studio quality transcription of an original 1969 vinyl source and not from a master recording.
