"Put Him Out of Your Mind" is a song by the band Dr. Feelgood. The track was recorded in 1979,[1] and appeared on Let It Roll, an album by Dr. Feelgood that was released in September that year.[1]

"Put Him Out of Your Mind" was also released as a single in the UK in August 1979, a month prior to the album's issue. Written by band member Gypie Mayo and the record producer Mike Vernon,[2] the song was Dr. Feelgood's sixth and final hit single.[3] It reached number 73 in the UK Singles Chart, and spent just one week in the listing.[3]

The B-side of the gramophone record was "Bend Your Ear"; penned by Mayo and the band's lead vocalist, Lee Brilleaux (now deceased).[2] The joint recording was engineered by Dick Plant and John McGowan at the DJM Studios.[4] The picture sleeve shown is of the German release, which was the only issue with a picture sleeve.[5]

In addition to Let It Roll, the song later appeared on Dr. Feelgood's 1989 compilation album, Singles - The UA Years.[1]
