1982 Singles # 37 Theatre of Hate

 

I don't know any other Theatre of Hate songs but loved this one at the time and still do. I bought the parent album but only listened to the one song.  It's by far their best known.  Produced by Mick Jones of The Clash. Full of atmospherics and that cowboys and indians fascination that was huge at the time. Adam & The Ants, The Southern Death Cult at the time. A time of tribes and cults though the predominant politics of the time made these groupings increasingly marginal as the decade proceeded. Kirk Brandon's haughty disdain on Top of the Pops at the time was something to behold.
