Description:

Gloria Jones, famously known as the Queen of Northern Soul, delivers one of the most iconic records in soul music history with ‘Tainted Love’, backed with the equally sought-after ‘My Bad Boy's Comin' Home’. Originally recorded in 1965, this special Record Store Day 2025 release celebrates the 60th anniversary of two legendary Northern Soul classics with a limited edition Diamond Clear 7 Inch Vinyl pressing.

Relicensed from the original Champion Records recordings, this exclusive reissue gives collectors the opportunity to own a piece of soul history. The original pressing of ‘Tainted Love’ is one of the most coveted records in the Northern Soul scene, with original copies commanding prices of over £800, making this limited pressing an essential addition for collectors and DJs alike.

While ‘Tainted Love’ became globally famous decades later through Soft Cell’s iconic electronic and new wave interpretation, Gloria Jones’ original version remains a powerful piece of 60s soul music. Featuring raw emotion, driving rhythm and unforgettable vocals, it perfectly captures the energy and spirit of the Northern Soul movement.

Presented in a beautiful Picture Sleeve with liner notes and pressed on limited Diamond Clear Vinyl, this anniversary edition is a must-have for fans of Northern Soul records, classic soul vinyl and one of the most recognisable songs in music history.

Perfect for collectors of Northern Soul vinyl, Rare Soul 7 Inch records, Gloria Jones, Champion Records, Record Store Day releases and essential 7 Inch Vinyl classics.
