Live album only saw a commercial Japanese release in 1997. This limited version was has a slightly
larger LP style gatefold card-sleeve. It has the exact same catalogue number and
barcode as the standard CD issue and was issued
with an
Obi strip and inserts containing the same information (red insert with sleeve notes in Japanese and a 12-page
booklet containing black and white images of the band).
A 14 track version of this album was issued as a promo on
CD in the UK and vinyl in the US. The last
five tracks on the Japanese release were not featured on the US or UK promos but
four of these were issued on the Australian Rocketship
EP. |

There is an expanded edition issued in the US in 2010
which includes an additional 10 tracks.
The title for this album comes from the Public Enemy song Burn
Hollywood Burn from their 1990 album Fear of a Black Planet.
Towards the end of the track someone asks Flava Flav the following question:
"Now we're considering how do you for a part in our new production, how do you feel
about playing a controversial negro?"
The artwork used on the promotional version along
with the title Controversial Negro was originally
intended for Now I Got Worry.
