Description
Limited Edition Clear Vinyl
Revisit one of the most emotionally resonant moments in synth-pop history with Soft Cell’s Say Hello, Wave Goodbye / Youth, released as a special vinyl edition for Record Store Day 2018. Pairing the band’s iconic non-album single with its evocative B-side, this release captures Soft Cell at their most raw, dramatic, and emotionally direct.
Originally emerging during the early ’80s synth-pop explosion, “Say Hello, Wave Goodbye” stands as a defining farewell anthem, blending minimalist electronics with deeply personal lyricism. “Youth” complements it perfectly, offering a more atmospheric and introspective counterpart that highlights the duo’s darker edge.
Issued exclusively for Record Store Day on clear vinyl and limited to just 1,500 copies worldwide, this vinyl release is a highly collectible edition that celebrates the enduring impact of Soft Cell’s early work. A must-have for fans of classic synth-pop and rare vinyl releases.
