It's tragic how so little people know that Pete Burns was part of the Liverpool post-punk Eric's scene alongside Pete Wylie, Ian Broudie, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, The Teardrop Explodes, Echo & The Bunnymen, Bill Drummond etc. He was right in the thick of all that stuff, yet is sadly destined to be remembered as the guy that had a lot of plastic surgery and sang that Stock Aitken Waterman produced song about being spun 'round like a record.

Yeah the Pete Frame family tree on Liverpool 1980, when I first encountered it, really helped open my eyes to his place in it all:

And the description of him in there is astounding:

Yeah,but had it not been for that record, yr auntie etc wouldn't know him at all.
The rest of us can remember him for all of those things.

This one's less memorable than "Pop Life," but it's still fun as Dead or Alive doing a random cover:
