Trivia

English rock band Radiohead named their 1993 debut album, Pablo Honey, after the first call on this album (apparently having heard it on a bootleg tape), well before release of this material on CD.[2]

California Punk band Nofx released a live album called "I Heard They Suck Live!!", in which the guitar player (El Hefe), impersonates a part of "Sol's Warts" in between songs.
