The Twelve Inch Singles is a compilation album by Soft Cell. The original 1982 release was as a vinyl box set containing the group's first six twelve inch single releases, along with an 8-page booklet. It was rereleased as an expanded three compact disc set in 1999, with a slightly revised version reissued in 2001.
The original 1982 vinyl box set edition contained CD 1 and tracks 1-4 of CD 2.
The US edition, released on Mercury Records in 1999, features an additional remix of Tainted Love (1999 Club 69 Future Mix) with a running time on 14:31. It was later withdrawn under pressure by Marc Almond who objected to the inclusion of this new remix.
All songs written by Marc Almond and David Ball unless otherwise noted.
