Memorabilia – The Singles is a compilation album featuring songs by the British singer/songwriter Marc Almond as a solo artist and with his partner Dave Ball as the synthpop duo Soft Cell. The album is a compilation for both Almond and Soft Cell, it was released in 1991 and reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart. Memorabilia – The Singles was promoted by the singles "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye '91" and "Tainted Love '91.
The majority of the Soft Cell singles on this compilation are not the original versions, and have new re-recorded vocals and some new musical recordings and remixing, with the exception of Torch and Soul Inside.
The version of Soul Inside is unique to this recording, as is Tears Run Rings, which is an edited version of the Justin Strauss remix.
The compilation was assembled (Partly) by Stevo from Some Bizarre. Whilst almost every Soft Cell single (To that date) was included in the package, the compilers opted to overlook all of Almond's solo and Mambas work up to 1988 except for his 1985 collaboration with Bronski Beat.
Receiving positive reviews the compilation was originally released as an LP, CD, Cassette and VHS video in May 1991. The compilation has since not been reissued. The artwork was designed by Big-Active Limited with a cover photograph by Richard Haughton.
A 14-track video compilation, Memorabilia – The Video Singles, was also released with a slightly different track listing. "What" was accidentally left off the printed track listing on the outer cover of some releases of Memorabilia – The Video Singles, but is actually included on the videocassette itself.
