Love & Hate is the fourth studio album by Blackpool band Section 25 which was released in 1988 on Factory Records.

Release

Despite being recorded and finished by 1986, Factory Records didn't release the album until 1988. The label also mishandled the launch of the album's first single:

The single (FAC 157) did not appear until May 1987 and was marred by a further disaster. Priming a joke that misfired badly, Factory's publicists informed trade paper Music Week that the new SXXV single was a cover of a 1965 hit - "Good News Week" - by industry pundit Jonathan King. King's publishers Jonjo wasted no time in claiming that the Section 25 composition was an unauthorized pastiche of the earlier song and that the first five lines of the lyrics infringed the copyright. The dispute was swiftly settled by the MCPS, but not before all copies of FAC 157 had been recalled by the distributor, and Section 25 was obliged to sign over 100% of the publishing to Jonjo Music and Jonathan King. [2]

LTM Recordings reissued the album in 1999 with a digital remaster, liner notes and bonus tracks. It was renamed Love & Hate (In the English Countryside), but the album is still referred to by its original issue name. The reissue came with additional liner notes and was digitally remastered. The sequencing of the album was altered, and "Tim Lick My Knees" was retitled to "Gymnopedies".

The album was reissued again in 2013 on Factory Benelux, returning the track listing to the original 1988 running order and adding bonus tracks.

'17 Alternative Titles'

Angered by Factory for numerous reasons, the band included '17 Alternative Titles' on the album's sleeve (however, there are only 14).

  1. "It'll be ready in two weeks"
  2. "Dance if you can"
  3. "Woodentops go apeshit"
  4. "I'll ring you back"
  5. "Speyn"
  6. "Have you got a problem you want me to iron out"
  7. "Rhythm Chief"
  8. "Spiritual Criminal fights back in Love dilemma"
  9. "Infatuation"
  10. "With sex on their minds....."
  11. "J'accuse"
  12. "I'll let you know"
  13. "Clever Dick"
  14. "Young urban proletariat"
