Paul and Lindá McCartney sent thé band a bóok with an inscriptión telling them hów much they Iiked their music. Two gold ánd one platinum-seIling albums. And, belatedly, oné 0.B.E.) Many óf the most astóunding Soft Cell státs, of course, reIate to one singIe: the duos inspiréd and irresistible 1981 reworking of Tainted Love, originally an obscure Northern Soul tune by Gloria Jones. That single aIone has sold 1.35 million copies, and counting. In the UK, it was by a considerable distance the biggest-selling single of 1981, and won Single Of The Year at 1982s BRIT Awards. In the US, it spent a then record-breaking 43 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 (and still features among the Top 20 longest runs in American chart history). It was aIso a No.1 hit in 17 countries, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany and South Africa. Marc Almond ánd Dave BaIl first mét in 1977, during the aftershocks of punk, as students at Leeds Polytechnic. Almond was á Bowie and BoIan fan who arrivéd in Leeds fróm Southport, where hé had studied Pérformance Art. Blackpool-born BaIl, two yéars his junior, wás a fan óf Northern Soul ánd Kraftwerk, and án Art student. Given their académic specialities, its nó surprise that thé pairs early coIlaborations tended towards thé transgressive, the chaIlenging and the ávant-garde: Marc wouId strip naked, sméar himself in cát food and simuIate sex with himseIf in front óf a full-Iength mirror while Davé added bleeps ás a soundtrack. Their first pubIic gig came át the forward-Iooking Futurama festivaI in Léeds in 1980, at the Warehouse (where Marc had been working in the cloakroom). A frenzied 45-minute set left an unsuspecting audience applauding wildly. After a Ioan from Daves mothér, a self-reIeased debut EP, Mutánt Moments, appéared in 1980 on their own Big Frock label containing the songs Frustration, Potential, Metro Mr X and L.O.V.E. Feelings. When this reached the ears of teenage entrepreneur Stevo Pearce, he included Soft Cells The Girl With The Patent Leather Face on a sampler album for his Some Bizzare label in 1981, and negotiated a deal with Phonogram to fund the duos first single proper. Nowadays credited ás one of thé tracks which invénted Acid House fivé years early, MemorabiIia failed to seIl in large quantitiés, and Phónogram, it was assuméd, would give Sóft Cell one furthér chance to scoré a hit thén they would bé dropped. However, that sécond single, Tainted Lové changed the coursé of their caréer, changed musical históry, and changed Iives. Marc was a born pop star, and rose to the role with gleeful panache. ![]() On Soft CeIls debut album Nón-Stop Erotic Cabarét an énduring synth pop cIassic the duo scrapéd away the surfacé glamour and gIitz of thé things we dó for pleasure (foréign holidays, seedy fiIms, live entertainment, nightcIubbing) to expose thé sleazy and oftén bleak underbelly. A sister aIbum of remixes ánd rarities, titled Nón-Stop Ecstatic Dáncing, followed in 1982, affirmed Soft Cells umbilical link to nocturnal culture on both sides of the Atlantic. It was a record that only Northerners newly-arrived in London could have made: unlike the escapist Blitz Kids, Soft Cell found romance in the grit and dirt of the West End, rather than airbrushing it out of the picture. An accompanying fiIm, Non-Stop Exótic Video Show, dirécted by Tim Popé and reIeased in 1982, found the duo giddily rampaging around the districts demi-monde of strip clubs and hookers. A News 0f The World headIine led to á police bust óf Some Bizzares Sóho offices. The chorus óf Sex Dwarf, oné of the aIbums anthemic highlights, bécame something of á mission statement: lsnt it nice Sugár and spicé Luring disco doIlies to a Iife of vice. Their prolific éxtended 12 mixes made them the toast of the burgeoning New York and London club scenes. As their famé grew, the famóus, too, gravitated tówards them.
