It was re-recorded in 2003, with two additional tracks, as English Rebel Songs 1381–1984, released on the band's newly formed MUTT Records label.

Many of the songs are still performed by modern English folk bands such as The Houghton Weavers and Coope, Boyes & Simpson.

From the 2003 re-release: "Now, fifteen years later, we felt we'd learned enough about our voices to try again, updating and rearranging the songs against a backdrop of US/British warmongering.

The songs were discovered in songbooks and in folk clubs and on cassette tapes, chopped and changed and bludgeoned into shape with utmost respect for the original tunes."

Liner notes state that "Alice Nutter was otherwise engaged" and "[Dunstan Bruce] was reading football fanzines".
