If we're being honest with ourselves, though, nothing quite screams THE EIGHTIES like "Tainted Love," and despite plenty of attempts, no one's succeeded in bringing that electro-pop classic to life the way Soft Cell frontman Marc Almond did, and still does.

Almond's latest project is more visual, though—he's teaming up with First Third Books to release a limited edition photo book on June 3 that will span his decades-long career as a pop music pioneer. The book will feature over 200 images from international photographers and Almond's personal archives, interwoven with stories and text co-authored by Almond and author Mark Paytress.We got a peek inside the tome and came back with some exclusive photos for your viewing pleasure.Photo by Andrew Catlin
