[1] The title track was inspired by the UK miners' strike (1984–1985).
is an updated version of the American pro-trade union song of the same title from the 1930s, whilst "It Says Here" (a different recording of the song from the one on Brewing Up with Billy Bragg) is critical of the political bias of British newspapers, most of which opposed the strike.
The proceeds from sales of the record were donated to the striking miners' fund.
"[4] All four tracks are available on the 2006 reissue of Brewing Up with Billy Bragg, and the first three tracks (along with the original Brewing Up version of "It Says Here") are also on the Billy Bragg compilation album, Back to Basics.
