* FormatSpecificJoke: The US release of ''Pills 'n' Thrills and Bellyaches'' has the message "CALL THE COPS" laser-etched in the CD matrix (the little ring around the disc hub usually containing catalog information for the label and/or manufacturing plant). The Disctronics US CD, meanwhile, instead reads "HAPPY MONDAYS." These messages are not present on LP or cassette copies, and the trick is obviously impossible to achieve with a digital download or streaming release.

* TheDissTrack: "God's Cop" is directed at the controversial then-Chief Constable of Greater Manchester James Anderton, who became known as "God's copper" since he claimed to speak with God. (Anderton was a regular punching bag for Manchester bands thanks to his fundy craziness, which most notoriously included referring to gay people with AIDS as "drowning in a cesspit of their own making" and trying to get the city's best-known alternative publisher shut down for obscenity. Music/TheFall also took shots at him in "Hit the North", and Music/TheKLF defaced a poster of him and used that as the cover for the "What Time Is Love?" single.)
