This was the only full-length LP released by Wyatt in the ten years between Ruth Is Stranger Than Richard (1975) and his fourth solo studio album Old Rottenhat (1985) In 1979, Peter Blackman read his poem Stalingrad (about the Soviet Union's fight against Nazi Germany during the Battle of Stalingrad) to an enthusiastic audience that included Jack Dash, a famous communist trade unionist and leader of many British dock workers.

[1] The recording ended up as the B-side of Wyatt's 1981 single Stalin Wasn't Stallin', a cover of a Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet song about the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union.

Wyatt recorded the cover to remind the Western World that although they were enemies of the Soviet Union during the Cold War during the 1980s, they were allies of them against the bigger enemy of the Nazis during World War II in the 1940s when the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet wrote and recorded the original Stalin Wasn't Stallin.

In America, Nothing Can Stop Us was released on CD paired with Old Rottenhat under the title Compilation.

[2] The song "Born Again Cretin" is sampled in the 1999 Italian single "Re-Born Again Cretin" by Almamegretta and Dub Colossus, featuring the vocals of Julianna, which originally appeared on the 1998 album Robert Wyatt e Noi - The Different You, a compilation on CPI Records.
