Cover version of Gloria Jones – Tainted Love (opens in a new tab) in a medley with a cover version of The Supremes – Where Did Our Love Go (opens in a new tab), backed by another Soft Cell hit, "What!".
The labels show 3:58 as the duration of the medley edit, same as on the 1981 US promo 7" (opens in a new tab). However, on this 1987 release, it actually runs about 4:11. The 1981 release is about 4:01, fading out 10 seconds early.
The 4:11 version was released on CD on Hard Rock Cafe: New Wave (US 1997) (opens in a new tab).
