Twelve inch vinyl pressing. Long regarded by many fans as an overlooked masterpiece, the album features a lyrical outlook that was as true to Soft Cell's maturity and perspective back in 2002 as it is relevant and accurate to the world situation in 2020. Harshly honest, fatalistic and bleakly humorous, 'Cruelty Without Beauty' also preserves the band's highly distinctive and edgy sound, and stands alongside their greatest work. This release features updated 2020 mixes of 'Monoculture', 'Together Alone', 'Darker Times', 'Last Chance' and more.
