27/11/1981 | Happy Record Release Day 1981 | Soft Cell - Non Stop Erotic Cabaret #softcell #nonstoperoticcabaret #marcalmond #davidball Wikipedia: „Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is the debut studio album by English synth-pop duo Soft Cell, released on 27 November 1981 by Some Bizzare Records. The album's critical and commercial success was bolstered by the success of its lead single, a cover version of Gloria Jones's song "Tainted Love", which topped the charts worldwide and became the best-selling British single of 1981. In the United States—as a result of the single's success, the album had reported advance orders of more than 200,000 copies. The album spawned two additional top-five singles in the UK: "Bedsitter" and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye“.“ „Soft Cell are an English synthpop duo who came to prominence in the early 1980s. The duo consists of vocalist Marc Almond and instrumentalist David Ball. The band are primarily known for their 1981 hit version of "Tainted Love" and their platinum-selling debut album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. In the United Kingdom, Soft Cell had twelve top 40 hits, including "Tainted Love" (number 1), "Torch" (number 2), "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye", "What" (both number 3), and "Bedsitter" (number 4). They also had four top 20 albums between 1981 and 1984. In 1984, the duo split; however, they reformed in 2001 to tour and release a new album. They held a reunion concert in London on 30 September 2018, stating it would be their last live UK performance as a duo but that they may still perform abroad and record together.“ #cratedigger #nowspinning #vinylcollector #vinylcollection #vinylcollectionpost #vinyloftheday #record #records #album #recordcollection #recordplayer #lp #33rpm  #audiophile #onmyturntable #vinyl #vinyljunkie #instavinyl #80er #80ies #80s #80smusic #80svinyl #80srecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CleMC9as5vk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Finally got around to reading my copy of #ElectronicBoy My Life In And Out Of Soft Cell by David Ball. A super fun read. A great musician and really good storyteller! The first time I heard Soft Cell, I was 10 years old driving cross country with my dad in a Uhaul truck. It blew my mind. Of course it was #taintedlove …The rest is #electronicmusic history. #softcell #davidball #marcalmond #electronicgoodness #synthesizer #synthesizergoodness #thegrid #somebizzare https://www.instagram.com/p/CYppSTNv6RT/?utm_medium=tumblr
