The Very Best of Soft Cell is an official compilation album by Soft Cell. The album was released on April 16, 2002 and was approved by the band; it includes most of the hit singles and also some b-sides, such as "Insecure Me" (in a newly edited version) and "It's A Mug's Game". The song "Numbers" was also considerably shortened for this release, but its AA side "Barriers" is missing. Two new songs, "Somebody, Somewhere, Sometime" and "Divided Soul", and two brand new remixes of "Tainted Love" and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" were also included. The album reached #37 on the UK Top 40 chart.[2]
