[12] This prompted major label Epic Records to sign the band in 1983. Their first release for Epic was the single " Misty Circles", which appeared at No.100 on the major UK Singles Chart in 1983. At this point, the band was a five-piece consisting of Burns, Mike Percy (bass), Tim Lever (keyboards/sax), Steve Coy (drums), and Wayne Hussey (guitar). Two more singles, "What I Want" and "I'd Do Anything", attracted club play, but mainstream success continued to elude the band.

ISBN 978-0-7546-6809-1. Married to a woman for nearly three decades, then to a man for the latter part of his life, Burns’ sexuality was always fluid (“I’m just Pete!” he once said on the topic of his sexual preference). On ‘Big Daddy of the Rhythm’, Burns flirts with his queerness: “ Big, big daddy of the rhythm / I can feel you comin’… Big, big daddy of the rhythm / I’ll send this sloppy kiss to you”. You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)" peaked at number one for two weeks in 1985 in the UK, then charted again in 2006 following Burns' appearance on the television reality show Celebrity Big Brother and on season 4 of Stranger Things. [6] It also became the first of two singles to top the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. In December 2016, Billboard ranked them as the 96th most successful "dance artist" of all time. [7] The band was discontinued following Pete Burns' death in 2016, Steve Coy passing shortly after him in 2018. Fennessey, Sean (18 May 2010).
