On the run-out it says:
A: No news is good news
B: Would you rather rape or rape Rather?

Rocked By Rape was released as a 7" single on Eerie Materials, the San Francisco label which also put out ECC's earlier Whipped Cream Mixes 7" single. It was intended as something of a follow-up to the success of Whipped Cream, and was also The ECC's first major piece using digital audio editing. Rocked By Rape took the original mash-up formula laid out with the Whipped Cream Mixes (Vocal Track A + Instrumental Track B) but expanded it drastically, sampling violent words and phrases spoken newscaster Dan Rather and then making 350 edits to put the words in place. Once synced to the instrumental track of cut-up AC/DC riffs, the track emerged as one of The ECC's crowning achievements.
