The version of Tesla Girls on this release is a longer version than the 7" release.

 

Tesla Girls had been inspired by Nikola Tesla - a Yugolsavian-born scientist responsible for the Alternating Current.

The title Tesla Girls was suggested by Martha Ladly (from the band Martha & The Muffins).Garden City raised some debate in the band about whether or not they should  keep the "F" word in the lyrics.
