Another Music in a Different Kitchen

The album's title was inspired by a collage by Linder Sterling. According to Shelley, "Howard said, 'another housewife stews in her own juice in a different kitchen'. We shuffled it around a bit and it came out like that."{{cite web |last=Manchester |first=Elizabeth |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/linder-untitled-t12502 |title='Untitled', Linder, 1976 |publisher=Tate |date=December 2007 |accessdate=7 December 2018}}

The sleeve design is by Malcolm Garrett. The original UK vinyl release was issued with a black cardboard inner sleeve, using a colour photo by Jill Furmanovsky on the front cover where Linder's image was intended to appear.{{cite book |last=McGartland |first=Tony |title=Buzzcocks: The Complete History |publisher=Music Press |year=2017 |isbn=978-1-786-06274-1}} Subsequent pressings substituted a black and white photo. The initial few thousand copies were shipped in a matching silver plastic shopping bag boldly with the word 'PRODUCT' on one side and the catalogue number "UAG 30159i have the record and plastic bag!" on the other. Displaying the catalogue number prominently in this way was a common feature of Buzzcocks' artwork which was later picked up and taken to logical extremes by Factory Records where everything they produced was catalogued.

The first pressing inadvertently gave a songwriting credit for "Fast Cars" to Shelley/Devoto due to it incorporating the riff from the song "Boredom" off the Spiral Scratch EP, though according to Steve Diggle he wrote ninety percent of the song, which was a personal song based on a car crash in which he was involved.{{cite book |last1=Diggle |first1=Steve |author-link1=Steve Diggle |last2=Rawlings |first2=Terry |title=Harmony in My Head: Steve Diggle's Rock & Roll Odyssey |publisher=Helter Skelter Publishing |year=2002 |isbn=1-900924-37-4 |page=88}}

The album was originally conceived with the track "I Need" on side one, but after a test pressing was made, the group felt the song should appear on the second side.{{cite magazine |last=Naylor |first=Tim |url=https://recordcollectormag.com/articles/oops |title=Oops!… I did it again |magazine=Record Collector |accessdate=18 February 2020}} A mix-up occurred at the pressing plant and, as a consequence, some early copies of the album contained no "I Need" at all.

An undated songbook was published with sheet music from the album, band photos, brief biographical material and a discography which includes the band's second release, Love Bites. As such, it would have been released after 22 September 1978, the release date of Love Bites. In keeping with other releases, the line "Agreed Images", which is a credit for the designer Malcolm Garrett / Assorted iMaGes, appears on the back cover below the stocking number.

A blue vinyl version was re-released around 1986. The corresponding CD was released in March 1994 on the same record label, adding a second disc with "Orgasm Addict" and "What Do I Get?". EMI released a special edition (in 2008 in Europe, 2010 USA) with two CDs. Rhino Records re-released Another Music in a Different Kitchen in a limited edition of 6,200 copies on 180-gram translucent orange vinyl in 2015 for Black Friday Record Store Day.[https://theseconddisc.com/2015/10/30/our-big-record-store-day-black-friday-round-up-featuring-mccartney-bowie-wilson-queen-ronstadt-more/ theseconddisc.com]

The album's second track, "No Reply", was covered by SS Decontrol on their 1983 EP Get It Away. The influential Seattle band The Fastbacks recorded "Whatever Happened To...?" on their 1991 single "My Letters", released by Sub Pop. The track "Autonomy" was covered by the pop punk band The Offspring on the single "Want You Bad".[https://www.lyrics.com/lyrics/autonomy lyrics.com]

The Sub Pop act Love Battery were named after the song of that name on this album.{{cite book |last=Schinder |first=Scott |title=Rolling Stone's Alt-Rock-a-Rama |publisher=Delta |year=1996 |isbn=978-0-385-31360-5 |page=114}}

Another Music in a Different Kitchen was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.{{cite book |editor-last=Dimery |editor-first=Robert |title=1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die |title-link=1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die |publisher=Universe Publishing |edition=revised and updated |year=2006 |isbn=0-7893-1371-5}} In a retrospective review for BBC Music, the critic David Quantick named it as his favourite album of all time and wrote, "Everything about it – from its silver, orange-lettered sleeve to Martin Rushent's aluminium-sheen production – is right."{{cite web |last=Quantick |first=David |author-link=David Quantick |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/reviews/zcb6 |title=Buzzcocks Another Music in a Different Kitchen Review |publisher=BBC Music |date=20 July 2010 |accessdate=31 August 2012}}
