Marilyn Manson's "Tainted Love" came out in 2001, one more chapter for a song with a long, strange road behind it. Ed Cobb, once of the Four Preps, wrote it, Gloria Jones recorded it first in 1964, and Soft Cell's 1981 reworking made it famous around the world.
Manson treated it as a two-man workshop job with Skold: they arranged, produced and recorded it together, with Manson singing, and Ben Grosse mixed it and chipped in production of his own.
