Reviews
- Does anyone have a copy of this (otherwise brilliant) 12" that actually sounds good? I've had three copies over the years and all of them have the same audio problems - distortion on the peaks in the music, that actually sounds like groove wear, but can't be. Have I just been very unlucky?
- One of the main things I enjoy about Soft Cell 12" singles is that they give you bang for your buck. You'll get extra verses, horn treatments, or just beautiful intros like the "What!" 12" for example. Bedsitter treats us to an early Marc Almond rap. I have memories of Marilyn's in Pasadena during the mid-80's and the pretty girls reciting this rap!
