Down in the Subway is a budget compilation album by Soft Cell.

The Singles is the first compilation album to be released by Soft Cell.

Soft Cell are an English synthpop duo who came to prominence in the early 1980s.

By 1984, the duo had amicably decided to end Soft Cell.

Almond and Ball reunited as Soft Cell in 2001, with a series of live dates.

There is also the famous story of a teddy bear sent to a meeting, to clinch the deal for Soft Cell.

Soft Cell's version was recorded in a day and a half with Almond's first vocal take being used on the record.

The label implied that this single would be Soft Cell's final release if the single did not sell.

Soft Cell issued a remixed version of the song in 1991.
