Love Removal Machine (4:16)

“Love Removal Machine” is a song recorded by The Cult. It was the first single to be released from the group’s 1987 album Electric. First recorded during a radio session, the song was originally titled “Love Removal”. A second version, with a different arrangement and newly-lengthened title, was recorded for the band’s third album, Peace. When that album was scrapped, it was re-arranged a third time and recorded for the replacement album, Electric. An extended remix was also created and released on a 12” single. In 1998, Mike Peralia remixed the song for inclusion in the film Small Soldiers. It is featured on the soundtrack of Guitar Hero World Tour. The song was named the 74th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
