* MEGADETH WAS AT FIRST GOING TO NAME "CRYPTIC" "PINS AN NEEDLES",
THE ART WORK FOR THE ALBUM COVER WAS SUPPOSE TO BE A PICTURE OF
A BEAUTIFULL GIRL (MIXED WITH ALL THE DIFFRENT NATIONALITYS)
HOLDING A VOODOO DOLL. HOWEVER WHEN THE ART
WORK WAS RETURNED THEY WERE SO DISAPOINTED! DAVE SAYED " IT LOOKED
LIKE A F@#CKING BJORK HOLDING A CHICKEN! QUICKLY THEY HAD TO COME
UP WITH A NEW NAME. MANAGEMENT SUGGESTED MASTERMIND, HOWEVER THE
BAND DID NOT LIKE THE NAME. AT THE LAST MINUTE THEY TOOK "CRYPTIC
WRITINGS" FROM THE SONG USE THE MAN!

* THE ALBUM WAS RELEASED WITH A SILVER COVER WITH A BLACK LOGO, THE CD 
CAME WITH A COLLECTOR CARD OF MEGADETH'S COMIC. THE ALBUM IS NOW SOLD
OUT AND NOW COMES WITH A BLACK COVER WITH A SILVER LOGO.
