"Trumpton Riots" appears on Back Again in the D.H.S.S., Half Man Half Biscuit's second album, which came out in 1987 after the band had already split at the end of 1986. Nigel Blackwell wrote it, words and music, and the production credit reads the Bald Brothers, Brenda Kenny and Sir Freddie Viadukt.
The album itself was a parting shot pieced together from Peel Sessions and some new songs, and the band stayed apart until they re-formed in 1990. A few of its tracks turned up again in 1989 on the compact disc ACD.
