Description

Transvision Vamp were a genuine International Pop Supernova of the late eighties. Fronted by the irrepressible Wendy James, whose bad-girl charms were impossible to ignore, and informed by the musical vision of Nick Christian Sayer, their sound and look was a kaleidoscopic whirl of chunky guitar riffs, incandescent pop thrills, razor sharp choral hooks, and vivid comic-book imagery.

Charting in April 1988 with the punk-pop sound of their second single, a cover of Holly & The Italians Tell That Girl To Shut Up, the band followed this up with the Top 5 single I Want Your Love and # 4 debut album Pop Art, certified Gold. In 1989, Baby I Dont Care hit # 3 in the singles chart, and the accompanying album Velveteen reached # 1, certified Platinum. Both singles from third album Little Magnets Vs The Bubble Of Babble reached the Top 40 in 1991, but curiously the UK arm of MCA Records decided against releasing the album in the UK. It saw moderate success in Australia, New Zealand and Sweden, but this release is the first time it has been issued in the UK. The band broke up in 1992.

This 3 LP box set includes all three original albums that the band recorded for MCA, on 180 gram coloured vinyl, housed in a rigid slipcase.
