Your Funeral... My Trial was originally released as an EP.
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds appeared in the Wim Wenders film Der Himmel über Berlin, released one year after this album, performing "The Carny."

The album was remastered and reissued on April 27, 2009 as a collector's edition CD/DVD set. The CD features the original 8-song vinyl double EP's track listing and track order, while "Scum" is featured as a bonus audio track on the accompanying DVD.
