[3] "The Trumpton Riots (Top 20 Mix)" and "All I Want For Christmas Is a Dukla Prague Away Kit" were released in 1986 on a 7" vinyl single (Probe Plus TRUM1-7"), before the release of the five-track EP.

[9] The EP was incorporated into the 2003 re-release on CD of the album Back in the DHSS.

In a 2001 appreciation of the band, music writer and novelist Kevin Sampson described the EP as "utterly marvellous".

The same report noted that Half Man Half Biscuit's 1980s song "The Trumpton Riots" had "portrayed Trumptonshire as a place of striking firemen, militant socialism, and military coups".
