W.A.S,P.'s controversial first single "Animal" was considered offensive, and therefore was not included on the album as it would have meant it being banned from major chain stores. Capitol Records (W.A.S.P's then-record company) planned to release it as a single only in Europe, in a black plastic bag with a sticker warning of offensive lyrics. At the last minute Capitol backs out and the single is salvaged when it is later released as a single by "Music For Nations", who released it in its original sleeve in April of 1984.
