Soft Cell – Non-Stop Extended Cabaret (RSD 2024)

In 2024, vinyl lovers can finally get their hands on Soft Cell’s iconic debut album, “Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret,” in its full extended glory. This special Record Store Day release takes the original ten tracks that shocked and delighted audiences in 1981 and stretches them out to contemporary 12-inch versions, many of which have never been available on vinyl before.

This extended edition lets you delve deeper into the world of Soft Cell, the pioneering synth-pop duo of Marc Almond and Dave Ball. Expect to hear all the classics – the global smash “Tainted Love,” the melancholic beauty of “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye,” and the darkly evocative “Bedsitter” – alongside the album’s other explorations of love, lust, and the seedier side of life, like “Sex Dwarf” and “My Secret Life.”

Created with the original studio parts, these extended versions aren’t remixes, but rather a chance to fully immerse yourself in the pulsating synths, Marc Almond’s distinctive vocals, and the atmosphere of decadent artificiality that made “Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret” a cornerstone of electronic music.
