"Back Home" was a popular song written by Bill Martin and Phil Coulter. It was recorded by the 1970 England World Cup squad and released on the single Pye 7N 17920. It was produced by Martin and Coulter. The arrangements were made by Phil Coulter. The single, which began the tradition of the England squad recording World Cup songs to celebrate their involvement, reached #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in May 1970. England were the reigning world champions at the time, having won the 1966 World Cup, but were knocked out in the Quarter Finals after a 3-2 defeat to West Germany.
The song was also a hit in Ireland, reaching #2 in the charts there.
The England team failed to qualify for the next two World Cups and, although they did release records upon qualification in 1982 and 1986, they did not reach #1 again until 1990 when they topped the charts with the New Order collaboration "World In Motion". The song is one of only 4 singles supporting the England team to have topped the charts along with the aforementioned World in Motion, Three Lions and Shout for England.
Back Home is the second album by Bearfoot Bluegrass, released 2003. The album was recorded and mixed at The Vineyard Studio, Todd Phillips' studio in Redwood Valley, California.

England were a progressive rock group active in the late 1970s, and briefly reformed in 2006. The band is notable for their album Garden Shed released on Arista Records, and for keyboardist Robert Webb playing a Mellotron sawn in half.
Biography
The band was formed in 1975 by drummer Mark Ibbotson, and, after a variety of prototype groups, stabilised around a line-up of himself, bassist Martin Henderson, guitarist Jamie Moses and keyboardist Robert Webb. Moses and Webb had previously collaborated on an unreleased album. Ibbottson owned a Mk II Mellotron, which Webb took an interest in, later saying "it opens up possibilities. It's having control like the conductor of an orchestra." To make the instrument portable, Webb sawed the instrument in half, rehousing the left-hand manual and the right-hand tapes (which contained the lead sounds on a Mk II model) it in a new case. After a number of gigs at the Hazlitt Theatre in Maidstone, Moses quit and was replaced by Franc Holland. In March 1976, immediately following a showcase gig that resulted in a contract with Arista Records, Ibbotson quit the band and was replaced by Jode Leigh.
