Sheena Easton would return for a final appearance in Deliver Us from Evil (1988), although she is mentioned in several episodes in between, including A Bullet for Crockett (1988), when Crockett is gravely wounded and the team tries to contact her on her concert tour to inform her of the situation.
Among the establishing shots for Los Angeles include the famous HOLLYWOOD sign, Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Walk of Fame, and the Capitol Records building, which is now owned by EMI, Sheena Easton's record label at the time before she left for MCA in 1988.
Several times in the episode it becomes rather obvious that very selective, tight camera angles have been chosen to disguise the fact that filming is not actually taking place in Los Angeles. This contrasts with the likes of The Prodigal Son (1985), in which the cinematography made the most of the fact filming was taking place on location outside of Miami.
Payola was a big scandal in the 1950s, as DJs and executives alike were put in jail.
SIn a nice touch of continuity, several of the Miami clubs Jerry Lee visits whilst digging up dirt on Burnett have actually featured in cases on previous episodes, including Sex World (where Jackie McSeidan worked in Little Miss Dangerous (1986)) and Raoul's (where Izzy was working as a male stripper in Walk-Alone (1986)).
