The poems and stories from the album were also published as a book in 1984.[2]
The sleeve notes include the following:

Episodes 1 and 3 were tracks on the 1974 album Dandruff, although there is a discrepancy in the title shown for one of the tracks on that album compared with the track titles on Life in a Scotch Sitting Room, Vol.2. Four other episodes in total were previously recorded on Velvet Donkey and Jammy Smears.
