Soft Cell – Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret (Vinyl LP, 1981, Sire / Some Bizzare SRK 3647, Winchester Pressing)

Why This Record Matters
Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret is Soft Cell’s debut album and a defining early-1980s synth-pop release, pairing Marc Almond’s vocals with David Ball’s electronic arrangements. It includes their international breakthrough “Tainted Love” alongside “Bedsitter” and “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye.” Mike Thorne produced the album, which established the duo’s distinctive combination of synthesizer-driven pop and new wave.

Collector Note
This 1981 U.S. Sire / Some Bizzare SRK 3647 edition is a Capitol Records pressing from the Winchester plant, identified by the Winchester markings in the supplied runouts. STERLING stamped on both sides identifies lacquer cutting at Sterling Sound, and this copy includes the original lyric and credit inner sleeve.
