Electronic Boy: My Life In and Out of Soft Cell: The Autobiography of Dave Ball

As half of celebrated eighties duo Soft Cell, Dave Ball''''s long career in music has been quite the ride - not least creating the instantly recognisable electronic sound that made `Tainted Love'''' a massive hit around the world. In his refreshing autobiography, Dave Ball recounts a musical journey from his first home-made amplifier to falling for northern soul and becoming an electronic pop wizard, first with Soft Cell and later with The Grid. Dave then pursued a dazzling array of collaborations as well as intermittent reformations of Soft Cell and The Grid. Electronic Boy is a compelling story from start to finish, told with relish, humour and honesty. See more
