Misc ="Love Makes Sweet Music" was the first single released by the Psychedelic rock group Soft Machine. It is one of the first British Psychedelic releases, predating Pink Floyd's "Arnold Layne" by a month. [ [http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article2350710.ece The Sunday Times, Sept 2, 2007] ] The A-Side is more pop orientated, featuring Robert Wyatt on lead vocals. The other side, ‘Feelin’ Reelin Squeelin’ is a disturbing tour de force with Kevin Ayers handling the lead vocal and an elliptical series of strange noises and flute in the solo.

The tracks from the single have been reissued on the Soft Machine compilations "Triple Echo" and "Out-Bloody-Rageous - An Anthology 1967 -1973" (Sony). The original copy commands very high prices when it turns up for auction.
