Quick Facts Memorabilia – The Singles, Released ...

The majority of the Soft Cell singles on this compilation are not the original versions and have new re-recorded vocals and some new musical recordings and remixing, with the exception of "Torch" and "Soul Inside".[2][3]

The version of "Soul Inside" is unique to this recording, as is "Tears Run Rings", which is an edited version of the Justin Strauss remix.[4]

The compilation was partly assembled (by Stevo from Some Bizarre. While almost every Soft Cell single (to that date) was included in the package, the compilers opted to overlook all of Almond's solo and Mambas work up to 1988 except for his 1985 collaboration with Bronski Beat.[5]

The compilation was released as an LP, CD, cassette and VHS video in May 1991.[6] The artwork was designed by Big-Active Limited with a cover photograph by Richard Haughton.[7]
