DEAD OR ALIVE will reissue 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)' on February 6th to tie-in with frontman PETE BURNS' current profile as a result of his appearance on the UK TV show 'Celebrity Big Brother'. The single release is expected to be followed by a reissue of the recent 'Evolution' compilation.
Currently causing controversy and havoc in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Pete Burns is an undeniable star. With his own unique sense of style and outspoken manner he has been quickly embraced by the media once again and is one of the favourites to win the show.
His rising media profile has resulted in a renewed interest in his music, particularly Dead Or Alive's previous Number One Single (originally released in 1984) 'You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)', which now gets a re-release thanks to both The Sun and Capital Radio host Johnny Vaughn. Dead or Alive, now comprising founder members Pete Burns and Steve Coy, have racked up over six million record sales and no fewer than eight gold, platinum and multi-platinum albums over their career. They are one of the most innovative, shocking and unique bands the world has ever seen. The vision of outrageous lyrical genius Pete Burns, his ever-changing style and visual drama have kept him as an icon to legions of fans all over the world and his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother is sure to win him many many more.
