Love Removal Machine

1987 single by the Cult

"Love Removal Machine" is a song recorded by the British rock band the Cult. It was the first single to be released from the group's 1987 album Electric. First recorded during a radio session, it had a different arrangement when it was recorded for the band's third album, Peace. When that album was scrapped, it was re-recorded for the replacement album, Electric. An extended remix was also created and released on a 12" single. The song's main riff has been compared to that of "Start Me Up" which was released by The Rolling Stones in 1981.[5] "Love Removal Machine" was named the 74th best hard rock song of all time by VH1.
