'In a recent press statement, Marc Almond of Soft Cell discussed Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, which was originally released on November 27, 1981 through Some Bizzare Records. “[Non-Stop Cabaret] tells a story of a bored ordinary bloke seething with his life wanting more and looking for excitement and adventure in a red neon-lit Soho world of red-light cabarets, prostitutes and sex dwarves, looking back at his youth and wondering what happened,”'

Wesley Doyle: Conform to Deform (2023, Outline Press, Limited, Jawbone Press) 4 stars

Fascinating review of what happened to Some Bizzare/Stevo presented as a series of soundbites

4 stars

Rather than being a conventional biography of the #SomeBizzare record label, or #Stevo its founder, this is a chronological series of soundbites from each of the important players. This features contributions by artists (including #MarcAlmond who stayed with Stevo for the longest period), #DaveBall also of #SoftCell, one member of #EinstuerzendeNeubauten (fell out with Stevo, ended up working for competing record companies), #TheThe, #PsychicTV, #Coil, #CabaretVoltaire, and others, plus some journalists, and Stevo himself obviously.
