The single was limited to 1000 copies and was available in up to 20 different colors.[1] The cover art resembles the albums where each of the songs first appeared: the cover of The Melvins side resembles the cover of 1967 album The Velvet Underground & Nico while the cover of the Nirvana side resembles White Light/White Heat.

Nirvana's cover had previously appeared on the Velvet Underground tribute album Heaven & Hell – A Tribute to The Velvet Underground, and would later appear on the 2004 Nirvana box set, With the Lights Out.[2] This version also appears on the 2011 Nevermind 20th Anniversary Deluxe edition.[3] While on their European tour in November 1991, they recorded an acoustic rendition for Dutch station VPRO which remains unreleased but appears on bootlegs and in trader's circles.[4]
