Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know

Mad, Bad and Dangerous to Know is the third studio album by the English pop band Dead or Alive, released in December 1986 by Epic Records. Continuing their association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team, Dead or Alive scored several hit singles from this album, including "Brand New Lover" and "Something in My House". In addition to an image of lead vocalist Pete Burns, the cover features one of the game walls at the Château de Raray, where some of the scenes for La Belle et la Bête were filmed. The cover photography was by Bob Carlos Clarke. The phrase "Mad, Bad, and Dangerous to Know" itself comes from a statement by Lady Caroline Lamb describing controversial English literary figure Lord Byron. Production of the album was marked by arguments between the band and SAW, with the latter frustrated by the band's refusal to branch into house music, and lead vocalist Pete Burns' unwillingness to hand over songwriting duties to the producers.
