Trivia:
- The album peaked at #94 on the Billboard 200.
- On all older versions of the CD and LP, "Postmortem" ends at 2:44 before the fast part. This error was corrected on the Expanded edition CD reissue.
Def Jam/Geffen also released the album on red, purple and green vinyl, limited edition picture vinyl with a different cover (bloody logo) and regular picture vinyl.
Three different versions of the outro to "Raining Blood" exist. On some LP versions, the sound of the storm is created by a locked groove which loops indefinitely until the needle is lifted. On other LP versions and this CD version only, the storm just fades after about 15 seconds. On all other CD and cassette versions, the storm outro lasts for 50 seconds.
The lyrics here are taken from the booklet of the expanded edition.
