The album was the first that the band released on the Dolphin Records label.^[1] The cover shows the band members dressed in the traditional dress of the IRA. The folk singer Christy Moore said of the cover, "I equate that particular record sleeve with Foster and Allen, dressed up as leprechauns. It was the very same thing. It had the same significance at the time."^[3]
