==Trivia==
* "Side 1" of the ''Big Black Bus'' cassette misspells "White Knuckles" as "White Knuckle".
* The cassette was titled after the bus used by the infamous Manson Family in the 1960s.
* The front cover of the cassette features the band's first use of the term "Holy Wood", where the words "<small>HOLYWOOD PROD.</small>" can be seen on the side of the school bus. This term was used as the focal point of [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]]'s 2000 album ''[[Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death)]]'' ten years later.
* The title of the cassette is a parody of the Los Angeles bus operator Big Blue Bus.
