Thank you for the feedback, guys! As for the question posted right above, it's answered right here
Soft Cell were always an intriguing proposition though I found myself being rather picky about their stuff (mainly to vocal side of the things, but not only). Still, most of it is great so I long wanted to create such a collection for them. And recently I did
Their late 1990s CD reissues were of great help, rounding up most of 7" versions (though why they left off "A man can get lost" is a mystery, the song's dynamite!). It's the albums from 1983-84 I had most trouble with but all turned out fine in the end. I also used some vinyl rips (the last folder, for example), but that didn't hurt the overall quality (and you can always discard the supplements and stick with the main collection
). I also decided to have some fun and made two spoof 7"s - you'll see which ones. Hopefully no-one will be thrown off!
Again a faulty collection, though. As any fan knows already, instrumental of "Say hello wave goodbye" is never on any CD of SC. Why is that I cannot fathom but here we are. I once tried to rip my 7" of the single but the B-side is too crackly. And I could never find a good vinyl rip, all of them are noisy which jars with the overall quality of the collection. So if anyone has a decent clean version please do get in touch. Oh, and if anyone's willing to share the remix of "Loving you hating me" from the double 7" of "Soul inside" then I can create a 2x7" folder instead of a simple 7" one. So reaching out for your help!Link:

P.S. Oh yes, the collection sticks to major label stuff mostly. That means their indie 7" EP from 1980 is missing - but I can add it if there's a demand, of course. Though, remembering the Blancmange post, no-one even mentioned it so maybe not
