  1. "Cruel to Be Kind" is a song co-written by #NickLowe and his former bandmate #IanGomm while the pair were in #BrinsleySchwarz. The song only appeared as the 1978 #Bside of "Little Hitler" until #ColumbiaRecords convinced Lowe to rerecord it as a potential solo single for his 1979 album #LabourOfLust. Musically, the song was inspired by "#TheLoveILost" by #HaroldMelvinAndTheBlueNotes, an influence reflected in more recent performances of the song.
