One song from that album, "Renaissance Man," was later recorded by The Ocean Blue. "It's So Sad," was later rerecorded, with a drastically different arrangement, by Roe's other band, the Lost Dogs for their album MUTT.
The title comes from Allen Ginsberg's poem "Howl," section 3: "I'm with you in Rockland / where you scream in a straight jacket that you're losing the game of the actual ping pong of the abyss."
