The year was 1981 and British Synth Pop duo SOFT CELL had just watched their debut single ‘Memorabilia’ fail to chart. Feeling the pressure from their label, the band went for broke with a risky manoeuvre, releasing their downtempo cover version of a 1964 Northern Soul tune by Gloria Jones called ‘Tainted Love’.
