HITS AND PIECES – THE BEST OF MARC ALMOND AND SOFT CELL
FEATURING 13 TOP 30 SINGLES INCLUDING THE NUMBER ONES ‘TAINTED LOVE’ AND ‘SOMETHING’S GOTTEN HOLD OF MY HEART’ AS WELL AS THE BRAND NEW, PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED SINGLE ‘A KIND OF LOVE’
The 45-rpm single was king, and Marc Almond worshipped at its throne. Marc had always aspired to become a great singles artist; he wanted to follow in the footsteps of two of his heroes, David Bowie and Scott Walker in turning the single into an art form.
He achieved exactly that when Tainted Love rocketed to the top of the UK chart in September 1981 (and became the biggest selling single of the year), commencing a singles chart love affair that has played a huge part in Marc’s 40 + year career and has seen him shift in excess of 30 million sales.
