Manufactured in Canada by Columbia Records of Canada, Ltd. on classic red-and-orange 6-eye ring Columbia labels (KC 32111), this 12-inch stereo vinyl LP was produced by Iggy Pop for MainMan (A MainMan Production), mixed by David Bowie and Iggy Pop at Western Sound in Hollywood, and recorded at CBS Studios in London.

The vinyl itself is preserved in an archival Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab (MoFi) Original Master anti-static inner sleeve.
