This sort of would have been the second time Beck became involved with the band - his single "Beercan" sampled their song "Hogleg", and Buzz Osborne appeared in the video.

While they were granted an unusually large amount of creative freedom, the band knew that the label still had their limits and released their more experimental album ''Prick'' under an indie label and under a different name while they were under contract with Atlantic.

According to Buzz, Joe had no interest in doing the EP whatsoever and recorded the whole thing in just several hours.

** According to the liner notes included with the 2021 vinyl reissue of ''Gluey Porch Treatments'', Buzzo regretted letting Matt Lukin play bass on the album, citing his sloppiness on the intro to "Eye Flys" and saying recording the song "almost didn't happen":
-->''During rehearsals for the recording Matt couldn't fucking play it. He couldn't keep a steady rythm [''sic''] on the intro to save his life. He was struggling and struggling and Dale and I kept telling him no, no to the point he finally had a complete melt down, screaming WE CAN'T RECORD THIS SONG BECAUSE I CAN'T FUCKING PLAY IT and threw his bass across the room. By that time I was already pretty sick of him [...] I calmly told him we were going to record it even if I had to play his part. In the end we let him play it. It's totally fucked up. I should have played it myself, or I should have fired him on the spot and hired Ben Shepherd of Soundgarden to play bass on the album. That would have been truly glorious, and I wouldn't have to cringe every time I hear it.''
