En este episodio viajamos con una de las canciones más reconocibles de los años 80: Tainted Love. Pero lo que pocos saben es que la versión de Soft Cell no fue la primera. La historia empieza en 1964, cuando Gloria Jones grabó la original, compuesta por Ed Cobb. Recorremos el camino que la lleva desde entonces al éxito de Soft Cell. Pasando por el Soul, y el Northern Soul hasta llegar al synth pop. Logrando estar 43 semanas en la lista Billboard .

Today's guest is probably the most international guest I've ever had. Welcome guitarist Timothy Reid to the show. Timothy comes to us from Japan via North Yorkshire, England. How did he end up in Japan? It's a really interesting story about obsessions. But that's not where we begin. We begin with Timothy getting into Northern Soul and the punk band that cemented his musical course. After going to school for music, he made the decision to move to Japan. But he prepped for years before leaving. That turned out to be a very good idea. Timothy talks about the realities of living abroad, including the inability to practice using an amp. That led to his entry into a guitar contest just so he could play through a Marshall stack. Turns out, the judges loved his improvisational approach and he won. That led to a job as a demonstrator for several years until COVID went and ruined everything. But when one door closes, a window opens. That's when writing music for video games begins to happen. And all the while, he's writing and releasing solo albums. If you're a fan of Satriani, Vai, Lynch, Eric Johnson, and guys like that, you'll love Timothy's music. He's got some new stuff in the works, including a possible video game soundtrack release. Follow @timothyreidofficial on instagram or go to timothyreid.com for more information.

This week, our good friend Paul Menotiades returns to help us unpack the unlikely rise of Soft Cell's 1981 synth-pop smash, “Tainted Love.” Originally a 1965 Northern Soul obscurity by Gloria Jones, Soft Cell's eerie, slowed-down cover became a global sensation, topping charts in 17 countries and spending a record-breaking 43 weeks on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 . But beyond the hit, Marc Almond and David Ball were more than just pop stars—they were art school provocateurs with a flair for the theatrical, as heard on their debut album Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, which explored themes of urban isolation and seedy nightlife . Join us as we dive into the duo's bizarre back catalog and ask: does Soft Cell's music deserve more love, or is it all just a bit too tainted?
