The red first press of this album has two different colors due to manufacturing variations. The album was first available for preorder the red option was advertised as a pressing limited to 1,200. During the preorder time frame Hopeless Records increased the pressing quantity to 3,000. Those that preordered generally received a vinyl record that was opaque red in appearance. Others that purchased the red first pressing in brick and mortar stores, pop up shops, merch tables, and even a few of the preorder customers received a vinyl record that was translucent orange in appearance. Hopeless Records has approximated the pressing quantities at 1,200 for the opaque red and 1,800 for the translucent orange.

All single LP versions of this record are known to have audio quality issues, specifically unusually low volume and excess surface noise. The quality issues are caused by attempting to press approximately 49 minutes worth of music on a single LP. These audio issues led to the album being pressed on double LP variants beginning in 2015.
