A delve into Soft Cell’s debut LP from 1981 where we discuss Kate’s discovery of the band and subsequent love of all things Marc Almond. There's a review of the album tracks including mega hit and bone fide 80's classic Tainted Love, and a look back at what was going on in the world in 1981.

We cover the news, television events (including the second highest TV audience of all time in the UK and the first airing of one of the nation's favourite sit-coms), and the highest grossing films of 1981, featuring James Bond, a comic-book hero and the most famous archaeologist that's ever lived (on screen!)

We also cover what was troubling the UK album and singles charts around the time of release for Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, featuring The Police, OMD, Haircut 100, Meatloaf, Soft Cell, Adam and the Ants, Queen, Shakin' Stevens and The Human League.
