Denne genudgivelse er den ultimative udgave af et album, der ikke blot definerede en genre, men også hele et årti. Det er en veloplagt fejring af 'Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret' med forskellige ekstramaterialer og sjældenheder i en Super Deluxe Edition med 6 CD'er og 98 numre. 40 af disse numre er aldrig tidligere udgivet.

CD1: ‘Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret’. Den første disk indeholder det nyrestaurerede album fra 2023, restaureret af Barry Grint, samt alle de tilhørende 7" singleversioner af A- og B-sider fra perioden, herunder ‘Torch’ og ‘What!’, bandets allerførste Phonogram-single ‘A Man Could Get Lost’ / ‘Memorabilia’ (produceret af Mutes Daniel Miller) og samtidige redigeringer af ‘Fun City’ og ‘Persuasion’, som kun blev udgivet på 12” på det tidspunkt.

CD2: ‘Non-Stop Extended Cabaret’ indeholder hele albummet i forlænget 12” version, skabt af Dave Ball i studiet ved at bruge de oprindelige studieoptagelser. Disse inkluderer samtidige fuldlængdeversioner, som tidligere kun var tilgængelige i 2018-bokssættet ‘Keychains & Snowstorms’, på 10" jubilæumsudgaven af ‘Tainted Love’ fra 2021 samt nye og hidtil uudgivne forlængede versioner af ‘Seedy Films’, ‘Sex Dwarf’ og ‘Entertain Me’ fra 2023. Her er ‘Bedsitter’ præsenteret i sin oprindelige 12” udvidede version, da alle involverede mente, at den simpelthen ikke kunne forbedres! På CD2 findes også helt nye, hidtil uudgivne remixes af ‘Memorabilia’ af The Hacker og Daniel Miller samt en ny forlænget version af Dave Ball af ‘A Man Could Get Lost’.

CD3: ‘Non-Stop Eclectic Cabaret’ er et skatkammer af sjældenheder. Sammen med en ny 2023-udgave af ‘Tainted Love’ er der højdepunkter fra BBC-sessioner, udvalgte remixes fra 2005’s ‘Heat: The Remixes’, inklusive Richard X’s legendariske version af ‘Seedy Films’, samt en samling demoer, outtakes og lyd fra BBC TV- og radiooptrædener i ‘The Richard Skinner Show’, ‘The Old Grey Whistle Test’, ‘Top Of The Pops / Top Of The Pops 2’ og ‘The Oxford Road Show’.

CD4: ‘Non-Stop Instrumental Cabaret’ præsenterer albummet i dets fulde instrumentale pragt for første gang samt 6 originale ‘Non-Stop’ demoer, hvoraf 5 aldrig tidligere er udgivet. Disse demoer inkluderer en netop genfundet arkivoptagelse af den første version af ‘Sex Dwarf’.

CD5: ‘Non-Stop Original Cabaret’ samler de originale ikoniske 12” single A- og B-sider fra 1981 – 1982 ‘Cabaret’-æraen med Soft Cell, herunder ‘Memorabilia’, ‘Tainted Love’, ‘Say Hello Wave Goodbye’, og de selvstændige hits ‘Torch’ og ‘What!’.

Til sidst, CD6: ‘Non-Stop Intimate Cabaret’ indeholder albummet spillet i sin helhed, plus ‘Torch’ og ‘Memorabilia’, optaget live ved Soft Cell’s triumferende ‘Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret… And Other Stories’ shows i november 2021 ved Hammersmith’s Eventim Apollo. Disken – og samlingen – afsluttes med ‘Insecure Me’, ‘What!’ og ‘Tainted Love’ fra London’s O2 Arena, optaget i september 2018.

Pakken, der er smukt præsenteret, indeholder også et omfattende essay om albummets historie af Adrian Thrills, inklusive nye interviews med Marc og Dave. Der er fulde sangtekster, samtidige fotografier, scans af album- og singlesleeves samt krediteringer fra compiler Chris Smith.
