The Servants formed in London in 1985, and were based around the carefully crafted song writing of David Westlake. Phil King, who went on to join 4AD band Lush, played bass in the band. The first two Servants singles, 'She's Always Hiding' and 'The Sun, A Small Star', attracted good reviews, and both made the independent singles chart.
Westlake made a record for Creation before putting together a new Servants line-up with future Auteurs and Black Box Recorder man, Luke Haines.
Creation Records asked Westlake to make a record. But there still was not a full band. Westlake and Haines recorded some songs with the Triffids' rhythm section. Creation put out the songs later in 1987 as Westlake.
Westlake [LP Creation 1987]:
David Westlake - vocals & guitar; Luke Haines - guitar & piano; Martyn Casey - bass; Alsy MacDonald - drums
Producers : Paul Gadd and Steve Nunn
