In the aftermath of punk, the early 1980s saw many earnest young men picking up keyboards, adopting a deadpan demeanor, and selling millions of records in the process. Soft Cell stood apart from the pack, however, by combining some tongue-in-cheek performances with seedy imagery from the sex-strewn streets of London's Soho. Charismatic singer Marc Almond was clearly born to be a star, and struck up a lucrative musical partnership with keyboard player Dave Ball, producing songs such as "Say Hello Wave Goodbye," "Bedsitter," and their infamous cover of the Northern Soul classic "Tainted Love." This release offers a selection of their music videos, with all the aforementioned titles included, as well as "Memorabilia," "Frustration," "What," and many others.
