"Cruel to be Kind" is s single by Nick Lowe. The song was covered by alternative rock bands "Letters to Cleo" and "Lazlo Bane".
Undoubtedly the first band to perform and record the tune was Brinsley Schwarz as the co writers (Nick Lowe and Ian Gomm) were in the band of that name. As a record, it first saw the light of day on the album "It's All Over Now" by the Brinsleys, but the l.p was hastily withdrawn.
The Brinsleys version later resurfaced as a B side to an Elvis Costello single where it was listed as by "Elvis Costello and His Sound".
Clearly, the version that most people are familiar with is the Nick Lowe version but the co-writer, Ian Gomm, has also had a few stabs at the tune.
