CRITICALLY AND COMMERCIALLY SUCCESSFUL '''LET
THEM DRAG MY SOUL AWAY''''.
Having been '''discovered'''' working in Liverpool''''s Probe
Records during the punk rock explosion of the late 1970s,
Pete Burns
quickly found himself fronting his very own band,
Nightmares In Wax, who quickly mutated into the more
familiar Dead Or Alive. A star was born.
But prior to pop superstardom, tabloid-tantalising celebrity
and his later revival and recognition as an icon of gay punk
and pop culture, Pete led Dead Or Alive into far darker
waters, as one of the earliest explorers of the post-punk Goth
scene. Captured on two remarkable 7' singles originally
released on Liverpool label Inevitable, the band also caught
the attention of the ever-reliable
John Peel
, and recorded
material for his seminal BBC Radio One programme.
'''Running Wild'''' compiles those early singles and related Peel
Session highlights, bringing the latter to vinyl for the first
time. Pressed on berry red vinyl,and housed in a cover
photograph by Dead Or Alive''''s then manager
Francesco
Mellina
, '''Running Wild presents an early glimpse at the
phenomenon Pete would become, and a long overdue back
story accompaniment for fans and collectors alike.
