The Original

Episode 1: Tainted Love by Soft Cell


Listen Later

A classic tale of obscurity to fame. 

A story that weaves together Motown, Northern Soul, Synth-Pop and the tragic death of Marc Bolan - an unknown song from 1965 gets re-worked into a 1981 global hit.

Random events and dumb luck, indie verses mainstream all combine in the most unbelievable journey. 

Assembled and presented by Chris Lastelle
