Cover

The album cover and title refer to the once popular drug Secobarbital, a barbiturate derivative commonly known on the street as "reds". Used for epilepsy and insomnia, the drug was widely abused in the 1960s and '70s. The original LP album cover folded out into a giant red capsule, bearing a pharmaceutical code resembling that of Secobarbital pills of the 1970s. The inner sleeve featured a photo of a "red" placed on a person's tongue. (This image was used as the cover art for the remastered CD.) Many references to "reds" have been made on Cheech & Chong's albums and in their films.
