Okay, I own this and I am in complete infatuation! I love the songs and can never put it down for long. It is a must have for any new wave and/or industrial fan. This is where industrial started! The beginning of dark wave, electro, and industrial. July 2, 2002

Classic. The original 'trance' music. I am riveted to disc 1, addicted is more like it. Don't care for discs 2 or 3, but #1 makes up for the price and I paid more than what you see here on Amazon. I give 5* for disc 1. If it can be worn out, I'm working on it. You can have the other two.

Man, it really makes me feel old reading comments from teens who weren't even born when Soft Cell's Tainted Love first hit the dance floor via DJ's long play mix - true trance music. Digital remastering and club mix makes this even more enticing. As moving today in 1999 as it was twenty years ago.

Today's alternative club/dance music is really a bunch of no-talents; can't sing, can't play and can't dance for people can't tell the difference. Don't quit your day jobs, kids. November 27, 1999

Brought back very fond memories of trying to do the obligatory 'Robot Dancing' in Summer of '83. Nicely Packaged (3 - Discs take up the same space as a single!). Brought back memories of Big Hair, Lots of Make-up, trying to dance with the Ra-Ra Girls in Newcastle Night Clubs in England c 1982-3. Remembered the Monologue in 'Torch' word for word! Now married with three kids and it seems so long ago!! This is much Better Than a Straight 'Best Of' Album. Digi-Mastering is good too. November 1, 1999

Vintage Soft Cell and is the only commercially available CD that includes "It's a mug's game", which makes it worth the money right there. This song alone takes me back 3000 miles and about 15 years to Southern California circa 1985 when KROQ DJ Jed the Fish used to play this tune incessantly and I didn't realize how much I loved it until I stopped hearing it. Still think the original version of Tainted Love is the best. August 26, 1999
