The track was taken from the fifth full length Toyah studio album, Love Is the Law, which failed to match the success of its predecessors. The 12" single featured an additional b-side, and both of these bonus tracks appeared on the 2005 reissue of Love Is the Law, and the compilation album The Safari Singles Collection Part 2: 1981-1983, released the same year.

The video for Rebel Run is featured as a bonus video on the Toyah DVD 'Wild Essence- TOYAH Live in the 21st century'

Toyah appeared on several television programmes to promote Rebel Run, including an outdoor performance filmed at Alton Towers for the TV show Hold Tight, when the band also performed a version of their 1980 single "Ieya".

gollark: I was looking at the WHATWG's documentation on application/x-www-form-urlencoded and it says this:> The application/x-www-form-urlencoded format is in many ways an aberrant monstrosity, the result of many years of implementation accidents and compromises leading to a set of requirements necessary for interoperability, but in no way representing good design practices.
gollark: I feel like they could probably just, if it's for array literals, get away with limiting it to 16 or so with no major issues.
gollark: It's allegedly to make neater bytecode.
