Tainted Love: Addendum to Part 1

It would seem that Wikipedia is NOT all-inclusive! Shock! Here's a bit of what's missing from Part 1: 1964-1994.

Ruth Swann (not her real name) was some chick from Wigan. She recorded a version of "Tainted Love" in 1975.  It starts out a little rough but it's not bad:



1986: A rockabilly cover by a group called The Boppin' Kids. It's awful. Here they are doing it still in 2008. In Antwerp. They're Sicilian. TMI.

 

Um, Blammo! Blammo! was from Sheffield, England, and recorded a version of "Tainted Love" in 1992.  This Blammo! is NOT this Blammo, who are from Indiana and also do a cover of "Tainted Love." Blammo!

And there are, of course more, versions, but I think this will be enough to get you through.
There's also a "rave" version by something called Tainted Cash from around 1991. You can check that out on your own. It's too gruesome.
