SOFT CELL The Art Of Falling Apart (Expanded Deluxe Edition 2025 UK/EU 6-CD box set including their classic 1983 album newly remastered, with a host of rare and previously unreleased music. Widely regarded as one of the most daring and innovative synth-pop albums of the 1980s, The Art of Falling Apart saw Soft Cell dive into darker, more experimental territory after the success of Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret. Now, this Expanded Deluxe Edition presents the definitive exploration of the album across six discs, featuring previously unreleased tracks, newly remastered audio, rare demos, 12" mixes, remixes, live recordings, and more. Housed inside a lavish 10" x 10" slipcase box, the set includes a 32-page hardback book with new sleeve notes by Adrian Thrills, unseen photography by Peter Ashworth, and interviews with Marc and Dave (R.I.P.) Hype sticker & factory sealed. Recommended)
