Description
The debut album by Marc Almond and Dave Ball, also known as Soft Cell, is an absolute icon in the world of electronic music. 'Non - Stop Erotic Cabaret' not only introduced the world to classic singles like 'Tainted Love' (one of the biggest global hits ever), 'Bedsitter', and 'Say Hello Wave Goodbye'. It also stunned and charmed listeners with a 10 - track song cycle that delved deep into the seedy, sleazy, and dark side of life. Tracks like 'Sex Dwarf', 'Frustration', 'My Secret Life', and 'Seedy Films' still have the power to thrill, shock, and enchant even after four decades. After the sold - out 6CD Super Deluxe box in 2023, along with expanded vinyl editions and Atmos mix, Mercury - EMI / UMR presents a 2CD Deluxe Edition featuring the best from the box set. CD1 has the original album remastered at Air Studios by Barry Grint, the classic full - length 12” of 'Tainted Love' / 'Where Did Our Love Go', and the original B - sides for 'Tainted Love', 'Bedsitter', 'Say Hello, Wave Goodbye', and the amazing standalone single 'Memorabilia'. CD2 features 'Non - Stop Extended Cabaret', the entire original album in extended versions by Soft Cell's Dave Ball. The full - length 'Memorabilia' is here too, along with a brand - new extended version of its original 7” flipside 'A Man Could Get Lost'. The book - style hardcover packaging comes with a 24 - page book filled with pictures and an essay by legendary music journalist Adrian Thrills.
To enjoy this product, simply insert either CD into your CD player and start listening. You can play the CDs in any order you like, whether you want to start with the remastered original album on CD1 or the extended versions on CD2. When handling the CDs, make sure your hands are clean to avoid smudging or scratching them. Store the CDs in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and heat. The hardcover book is also a great addition. You can flip through it while listening to the music to get a better understanding of the album's background and context. Just be gentle with the pages to prevent tearing. Enjoy this timeless electronic music collection!
