Excerpt from 2001 reissue liner notes:
Away from London, after being a bandleader, out of the cold shadow of the Black Rock, I wrote these songs. In a Dublin hotel room, in a ship's cabin off the coast of Greenland, on a summer's afternoon in a house next to windmill as the English countryside rolled down to the coast.
Some of them came out of the newspapers and everyday anger – "Tramp the dirt down," "...This town...," "Coal Train Robberies." One of them came out of old newspapers and ugly arguments – "Let him Dangle." The case of Derek Bentley had been brought up in every capital punishment debate since I had been a child, so I put it in a song.
