The original pressing, on Thirty Days of Night Records, was a strict run of only 1,000 copies. The album name comes from the first line of "Traitors Never Play Hangman". According to an interview with the band, 'Traitors Never Play Hangman' was originally two different songs. One being "Traitors Never Play Hangman", and the other called "We Are All Movie Stars". They played them live one after another to begin with but after a while they decided to join the two songs together into one.[3]

Nobody.", "Dagger", "Passe Compose", "Traitors Never Play Hangman" and "We Are All Movie Stars".[4] The artwork was different as well, with the cover featuring the band's logo with a sparrow in the corner of the cover standing about a bottle of leaking love hearts.[5][6][7][8]
