Beki in particular allowed the rock media to trumpet her as punk's leading sex symbol, and she did pose topless on one occasion (but only with her back to the camera) for the front cover of Sounds.
However, except for a brief chart touch (a week at no. 68) by their single Out of Reach that was released between the two albums, the group's Zonophone singles failed to build their commercial profile as EMI had planned, and relations between the band and the record company began to sour.
Beki subsequently left in 1983 to record the single Crime and Passion for EMI with new musicians, going under the name Ligotage.
