Certainly sounds to me like 'Down In The Subway', and 'Mr. Self Destruct' are in mono.

At the time of writing, this release has this note on Discogs:"Despite mentioned as "Mono/Stereo" on sleeve, it's actually recorded in Stereo only."I'm not convinced. "Mr Self Destruct", "L’Esqualita", "Down in the subway", and "Surrender to a stranger" all sound mono to me, and I read some years ago that Ball and Almond wanted "Down in the subway" to be in mono to give it more of a period Northern Soul sound. Most of the other tracks on the album are in very narrow stereo, usually with nearly all instruments centred and one or two pushed to left or right. The background monologue on "Slave to this" is a rare example of heavier use of stereo (or as it's spelled on the sleeve, "sterio") here.As for the album in general, it's a superb piece of commercial suicide, right down to the migraine-inducing handwritten sleeve. Excellent.

It's not perfect, but it's the Soft Cell album I put on most regularly. Dark, unhinged, quite truly falling apart, but I love it!
