The single was released before the band's second album Oriental Beat but neither the A- or B-side were featured on album until the band's third album, Self Destruction Blues.
The EP's second song, "Taxi Driver", is from the band's third album, Self Destruction Blues, and was also released on the "Love's An Injection" EP and single.
"Dead By X-Mas" has been covered by the Japanese hardcore band The Piass in 1994, the US punk band The Hillstreet Stranglers in 2005, the British electro group Sohodolls in 2007 and the Finnish rockabilly band Big Daddy & Rockin’ Combo in 2008.
Though not a full length release, but rather a compilation album (much like Hanoi Rocks' Self Destruction Blues), it collected the majority of the bands early material and contributions to other compilations.
