  Soft Cell - Tainted Love [BZS 212 UK 1981 24-Bit FLAC] Totally random, almost mint condition 12" single ripped from the penguinflight archive..... This is the French pressing with the black injection SBL labels of a single which should need no introduction whatsoever. This is a brand new rip and a significant improvement on my earlier work. A1  Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go B1  Tainted Dub (Incorporating Where Did Our Love Go)

  Soft Cell - Torch [BZS 912 UK 1982 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] A few months back, a revered blog follower 'contracted' me to acquire, rip and post certain earlier vinyl releases by Soft Cell. The extended UK twelve inch version of Torch was a part of the plan, however never happened at the time. I can now complete that project as I've finally been able to acquire a copy of the UK release in excellent rip worthy quality. Enjoy! A1 Torch B1 Insecure Me

  Soft Cell - Non-Stop Ecstatic Dancing [1-23694 USA 1982 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] Soft Cell reworked parts of their debut album for the dance floor, adding a new track What! for this mini album in the summer of 1982. Originally recorded with Donald Fagen, a contractual dispute meant that Mike Thorne oversaw final production duties. Much more uptempo that the original album recordings, this version is the US release which included  Insecure...Me? , which replaced  Chips On My Shoulder on the UK version.  A1 Memorabilia A2 Where Did Our Love Go A3 What! B1 A Man Could Get Lost B2 Insecure...Me? B3 Sex Dwarf

  Soft Cell - Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret [6359 087 DEU 1981 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC] It took a couple of singles for Soft Cell to breakthrough from the darker alleys of synthpop, and it is very likely that if it wasn't for their cover of Tainted Love , Marc Almond and David Ball would have remained a underground act. That massive worldwide hit single, thrust this album into platinum sales territory, providing a significant return on the relatively small recording costs. This record wears its sexuality on its sleeve, and in Almond's highly suggestive lyrics - which back in those prudish early eighties would still be beyond the comprehension of the majority of the record buying public. I ripped this from an original German pressing of Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret released in 1981 on Some Bizzare Records via their deal with Vertigo Records, kindly funded by a generous blog follower.

If you have my ESWA 2.0 rip from April 2018, ditch that and grab this significantly better rip. A1  Tainted Love / Where Did Our Love Go B1  Tainted Dub (Incorporating Where Did Our Love Go)
