New on Outta Sight, an official reissue of the Gloria Jones classic Tainted Love. The song originates from 1964, then made a household favourite from 1981 when made a hit by Soft Cell. Gloria's 1965 release in the USA was originally a B-side to a non-hit, and it took ten years for it to be discovered in the UK where it was played on the Northern Soul scene. It's the Motown-like rhythms and arrangements that made it relevant. Gloria re-recorded it herself in 1976, and while still not a hit, the song in NME's Top 500 greatest of all time and Gloria dubbted The Queen Of Northern Soul'. She was in a relationship with Marc Bolan at the time of his fatal accident. This single is coupled with another northern soul favourite, the Holland/Dozier/Holland song There's A Ghost In My House by Motown artist R. Dean Taylor. It was originally recorded in 1966 and reached No.3 in the UK Charts (1974)
