The original 10-inch record is one-sided, with cover art completely covering the disc along with a hand written number, while the flip-side features etched autographs of Cobain and Burroughs: "William S. Burroughs" and "Kurtis Donald Cȯhbaine". The release details "TK 92-10044" are etched in the inner groove of Side A.

The "Priest" They Called Him is a collaboration between the American novelist  and musician . On the piece, Cobain provides noisy, discordant guitar backing based on "" and "" to Burroughs' deadpan reading. Originally released as a limited edition 10-inch picture disc on  Records in 1993, it was subsequently re-released on CD and 10-inch vinyl.
