Soft Cell's debut album Non-Stop Extended Cabaret stands as one of the defining records of the early 1980s synth-pop era, blending Marc Almond's sultry, emotive vocals with Dave Ball's electronic production to create a sound that was bold, provocative, and unlike anything else at the time. Drawing from the seedier, sleazier side of life, the original album shocked and delighted in equal measure, and tracks like "Tainted Love" went on to become timeless classics of the genre.
This Record Store Day release presents extended versions of the album's tracks, crafted from the original multitracks by Dave Ball, offering fans a fresh and expanded look at this landmark record. Also featured is a rework of the duo's first Phonogram single "A Man Can Get Lost," along with previously unreleased remixes of its B-side "Memorabilia" by The Hacker and Daniel Miller, making this a genuinely compelling release for longtime devotees of Soft Cell's iconic sound.
