The Twelve Inch Singles

Released

Remarkable as Soft Cell’s first three full length albums were, it was their singles that were even more engaging, the legendary extended mix of “Tainted Love/Where Did Our Love Go?” merely scratching the surface of a deep catalog of excellent remixes, non-album tracks and B-side obscurities. Compiled in various formats over time, The Twelve Inch Singles has any number of standouts: the sparkling long version of “What!,” the pulsing full mix of “Memorabilia,” the slice of life portrait “Facility Girls” and a legend in its own right, the deeply hilarious “It’s a Mug’s Game.”
