Rykodisc CD reissues from 1990 employed Bob Stone, formerly Chief Engineer for Larrabee Sound, to remaster all of Frank's catalog. The Ryko CD reissues of Weasels Ripped My Flesh credit Stone with the phrase "Digital Art" instead of Digital Mastering or Remastering, but this phrase actually refers to the remastering for CD of the release.

Track 4 shown as "Toad Of The Short Forest" on the back cover.
