The Other Side of Love

"The Other Side of Love" is a song by the British synth-pop band Yazoo, released on 8 November 1982 as their fourth single. The single peaked at #13 on the UK Singles Chart, making it the band's least successful single and the only one of their four singles to miss the top three in the UK. The track was written by band members Vince Clarke and Alison Moyet, and was originally a non-album single (it was later added to a reissue of Upstairs at Eric's).

Prior to their November 1982 UK tour, Yazoo returned to the studio in October 1982 to record a new single. They decided to write a new song together rather than lift another track from Upstairs at Eric's. Clarke told the NME in September 1982, "We haven't actually written anything yet, but it's definitely going to be a new song. I think it's better to come up with something new rather than take another track off the album."

It featured Stiff Records' all-female band Sylvia and the Sapphires on backing vocals following a chance meeting on the B.A. Robertson show.

The track was not included in the set-list for the duo's 2008 reunion tour. In an interview on the official Yazoo website Moyet explained: "We left out stuff that translated less well to live work. Personally I always thought "The Other Side of Love" was a bit wank. It is my least favourite track. I didn't like singing it and Vince was not bothered by it so we left it out."

The single's B-side is "Ode to Boy", which appeared on their second album You and Me Both. The cover's sleeve design was created by Moyet.
