Soft Cell are an English synthpop duo who came to prominence in the early 1980s. They consist of vocalist Marc Almond and instrumentalist David Ball. The duo are principally known for their 1981 hit version of “Tainted Love” and 1981 debut album entitled Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret.
Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is the debut album by English synthpop duo Soft Cell, released in the United Kingdom on 27 November 1981 by Some Bizzare Records. The album’s critical and commercial success was bolstered by the worldwide success of its single “Tainted Love”, a cover version of a soul song by Gloria Jones, which topped 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 produced two more top five singles in the UK with “Bedsitter” and “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye”.
