Say Hello to Soft Cell is a compilation album by Soft Cell. The album was released in 1996 by Spectrum and collects singles, album tracks and b-sides. It is also notable for the inclusion of A Man Can Get Lost (incorrectly titled as A Man Could Get Lost in the artwork), formerly previously available only on 7" vinyl single and (at the time) unavailable on CD, until subsequent releases corrected this. The four-page booklet contains a brief biography by Marc Almond.^[3]

The album was reissued in 1999 with different artwork that omitted the 'featuring Marc Almond' epithet but repeated the mistakes made regarding the track listing (see Notes).^[4]
