Tainted Love
1964
Ranked No. 5 in Northern Soul
A B-side nobody bought, resurrected on the Northern circuit, and then turned by Soft Cell into a global synth-pop hit. The original is faster and considerably angrier.

Tainted Love
1964
Picked by Sung to Someone
An address delivered at a run. "You don't really want any more from me" is not an observation about love, it is an accusation with somebody on the end of it, and the two-minute sprint is a woman getting it said before she loses her nerve.
