Re: Soft Cell / Marc Almond
After the digital release of Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys’ collaboration, you might be wondering how this affects the new album and each format.
The *Happiness not included CD and cassette formats, as well as the download and all other digital formats, now feature the new #SoftCell and Pet Shop Boys version of ‘Purple zone’, which has replaced the original.
Because of the long lead times, the yellow vinyl and picture disc formats were already in production long before the Pet Shop Boys collaboration came about, and feature the original Soft Cell-only version of ‘Purple zone’. Any future re-pressings will include the new Soft Cell and Pet Shop Boys version, so expect these two limited-edition formats to fast become collectors items, as they are the only formats to include the original.
Soft Cell would like to apologise for all these format nightmares and thank you for your support and understanding ?

Each Sunday, Pitchfork takes an in-depth look at a significant album from the past, and any record not in our archives is eligible. Today, we revisit the English duo’s 1981 debut, a daring landmark of synth pop that went unexpectedly mainstream.

Re: Soft Cell / Marc Almond
Soft Cell @marcalmondofficial and @daveballelectro have this week signed a new worldwide recording deal for their sixth studio album, Danceteria, which will be released via Republic of Music in spring 2026.
Named after the infamous New York nightclub which played host to Soft Cell’s Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret US launch party, the club became renowned as the centre of new wave music in early 80s New York, frequented by many musicians and artists who became famous during the decade, including Marc Almond and Dave Ball.
Danceteria is the follow up to 2021’s acclaimed ‘*Happiness not included’ album, which reached Number 7 in the UK charts, and features the hit single ‘Purple Zone’ with Pet Shop Boys.
Marc Almond comments: “I have loved working on this album. Dave’s music has once again inspired me to write a set of lyrics that this time reflect a time in my life in New York in the early 80s, at a particular creative and pivotal time of changes in my personal life and the city itself. Some of the songs are very personal. Soft Cell have always had a strong connection to New York, recording our first three albums there, and taking inspiration from its’ underground and culture, my Soft Cell lyrics have often looked at America through British eyes”.
Dave Ball comments: “I’m very excited about the new Soft Cell album – the first thing to be created in my new studio in London. With Marc’s vocals recorded across the river in Soho, it’s inspired by, and tells the tales of, our London and New York experiences in the early 80s”.
After spending 2025 touring the US and Australia, Soft Cell perform their only UK show, headlining the Rewind Festival in Oxfordshire on 16th August.
Marc and Dave promise that “2026 will be a Soft Cell year”. Watch this space…
