I nagged and nagged a member of this forum if there were any other recordings, but I'm afraid this is it

Coil - Tainted Love

not as good as my cover version, but it is still good

next great northern dissensus meetup ask me about the guy who was trying to argue with Pete Burns at the counter of probe records because his copy of "How To Destroy Angels" only had one side, I sort of interjected but the guy needed money for drugs, he didn't really care for the magick

For the record, that's the only time on this board I did that. I told a couple of people straight up that was just riffing when I saw their reactions to my posts and were afraid they would take it seriously.

Pete Burns described himself in his autobiography as a UNICORN, a mythical creature you would be blessed to see

I spotted him once or twice 'in the wild". accompanied by his wife and boyfriend, all dreaded up pre culture club, and I love to lord it over my Taiwanese friends with tales of handing Pete Burns money in exchange for CRASS, COIL, CHROME, etc records

we'll dance around the living room to "spin me around" but for total gender confusion his cover of K C and the Sunshine Band rules ( which should lead me into a discussions about the origins of MIAMI BASS and the exploitation labels run by ( edit: another story, I did some research )



Dead or Alive - That's The Way ( I Like It )

KEEP KEEP
KEEP THAT BODY STRONG

THAT'S THE WAY I LIKE IT

I had a friend who frequented Liverpool nightclubs and once he laughingly recounted to me a story about how Pete Burns made a grand entrance in a paper suit but it was a bit hot in the club and the paper started getting a bit wet and then just disintegrated and he and his entourage had to leave in a hurry

ok, I really want to hear this

I'll have to type up my notes, but it involves KC from the Sunshine band, King Sporty, cracked up 'exotic dancers' from Miami and much more

here is a taster from the myriad of labels they ran, this is the tune that lead me down a 'rabbit hole'
