I need help with this one! I think this came with one of the reissues of the Westworld LP but I'm not sure and cannot remember. Does anyone know? On the label its marked KB1 (I assume with all my unvast knowledge that stands for Kirk Brandon) When you get old you tend to lose your memory a bit! The label is also incorrectly marked on both sides (track 1 is track 2 on both sides ect) This EP doesn't have a cover either. A lengthy search of the internet revealed sweet fa.
Im posting this to A) Find out exactly where it came from and B) to re-address the balance and post some of the greatest Kirk Brandon recordings ever. Side One you will also find on the excellent compilation album by The Pack (Dead Ronin) and includes Longy's favourite Pack song Brave New Soldiers and the greatness of side 2 needs no introduction although note its not the original 7'' versions of those two songs (unoriginal sin if you like) Its definately something you would of all heard before on later TOH CD's but if by some small chance you've never heard any of these,then I'm pretty jealous of you!
Edit: Mystery solved thanks to Highlander's memory. It does indeed come from a re-issed version of Westworld from 1991. Thanks Highlander and Rod for your help.

I'm not 100% on this one but I think this released in '85 to promote the Live In Sweden LP. Whether thats right or wrong,hopefully someone will tell me but one thing that is certain is that TOH were a bloody brilliant band!
The classic Do You Believe In The Westworld catapulted Theatre Of Hate to fame back in '82. Not their best one by a long shot in my opinion but still great. This 12'' features extended versions of both Westworld and the excellent Propaganda as well as the normal versions and just for good measure theres another version of the brilliant Original Sin to round things off.
This is just one of those songs I played again and again and again. A classic song from a great band. Kirk at his best. Still one of the best live bands I've ever had the pleasure of seeing and that was back in 81 (Southern Death Cult were supporting them and they wern't bad either)
