"I Believe" is a Pete Shelley song from A Different Kind of Tension, the third Buzzcocks album, which United Artists put out in September 1979. Shelley has the writing credit to himself, and Martin Rushent, the man steering the whole record, both produced and engineered it.
The album was cut at Eden Studios, mixed at Genetic Sound and mastered by George Peckham at Portland Recording Studio, with Richard Boon managing the band through it all. It has been reissued again and again since, including a 2-CD remaster (Europe in 2008, the US in 2010) that piles on the singles, demos and two of the band's John Peel shows for BBC Radio 1, from 1978 and 1979.
