It's 2022, and if this song was released tomorrow, it would be seen as pushing at the edges. Soft Cell are somewhat special.

The moment when Cindy turns into Marc at the end of the rap is AMAZING! Also are they superimposing lines of coke over the Word Trade Center?

This song is all about the drug ecstacy not coke. They recorded their debut album in New York and were club hoping amongst the many gay clubs of the time when they were introduced to a woman who had the only supply of the new hit drug on the gay club scene. Medical grade MDMA (Mandy in the UK, Molly in the USA), still legal at the time, they got heavily into both the drug and the scene. That's her rapping on this track and this is pretty much the first rave record...6 years before the acid house/warehouse rave scene would explode in the UK.

Easily, one of the most important songs in pop history. What a carnival ride of raw emotion! This video is brilliant and should be placed in a museum collection at the MoMA if its not already. Thank you Marc, Dave, and Cindy!'

I first heard it in early 1983 on a Spanish radio station and I only had time to record an excerpt on a tape I still keep but I never knew the song name until yesterday night, almost 40 years later. Arguably their best song along with Frustration and Youth.

Maybe something from trans Europe express as that was the only dancy beat type album they had. No its more like Giorgio moroders music for Donna summers I feel love.

This song has a very strange feeling, but I can't live without it

Bought that in 1982, was 15+ years old. Headphone, headphone. It's the reason why I need now hearing aids. Ok, I also blame Heaven 17, ABC and Public Enemy.

Found out that nin actually just did a cover of memorabilia; so I decided to check the original out. This one is pretty good too!!

That was music, That is music

I'm 27, had never seen this clip / music before and its scary how much I identified with it. The sound and footage.

This was AWESOME hearing live at darker waves !!

Bought the "Non Stop Ecstatic Dancing" cassette when it came out, because it had "Where did our love go", but was completely blown away by "Memorabilia" the first time I heard it, especially Cindys rap. This song cemented Soft Cell in my top 5 bands of all time. Will always cherish their contribution to the art.

40+ years old and still amazing. One of my favourite tunes ever. Soft Cell have never ceased to be important to me. The soundtrack of my youth. Love that Stevo’s in this.......

Just about my favourite song when I was out clubbing back in the day.

...the first album I bought, with my own money.. age 8. I had one prior. To this date, after hearing a million dance and electronic songs, this one still does more for me than 99.999999% of the rest.. the others, are somehow equals.

Ok help me out here. I owned this album back in 83, 82. It was on cassette. But my cassette had this song starting the album. Not Frustration. And my cassette said nothing about a video show. Or a special dance mix. But it was the best thing going back in the day. I loved that cassette. I have no clue whatever happened to it. I believe someone snagged it. Probably my ex, of the 80's. Still, have - the art of falling apart, and the next album after that. No one took those. But I've been trying to find one like I had, anywhere. But like here. When I pulled this up, it said it was the full album and yet it's one song. Granted it was the right version of the song, which this version is easily the best. Of the many versions, they seem to have here But maybe I'm wrong about the title on the cassette. All I know is I'd really like to find this again Thanks for listening. Today is July 12th, 2024 Friday.

Still sounds so fresh!! Love the Cabaret Voltaire esq sounds in the back of the mix!!
