"Do You Believe In The Westworld" comes off Westworld, the debut studio album from English post-punk outfit Theatre of Hate, issued on Burning Rome in February 1982 with the Clash's Mick Jones in the producer's chair. Kirk Brandon wrote it alone, words and music, and he both sings it and plays guitar.
The twist is in the reeds: John Lennard plays saxophone and clarinet over Stan Stammers' bass and Luke Rendall's drums, a horn-section-of-one set against the post-punk drive, with Jeremy Green engineering. The band didn't get much further down the road; they had split by 1983.
