The Love Songs is an album by Peter Hammill, originally released on Charisma Records in 1984.
The album is a compilation of ballads from Hammill's previous solo albums, re-recorded in new versions — all reworked, redubbed and remixed to form this album. The lead vocals were re-recorded on all tracks, except "Been Alone So Long". All tracks were based on the original multitracks, except "Again" and "If I Could", which are based on live K Group performances taken from the 1983 Margin Tour.
