Transvision Vamp were a genuine International Pop Supernova of the late eighties. Fronted by the irrepressible Wendy James – Pop’s very own Halo Jones – 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. They crashed the charts like a rock and roll wrecking ball, bagging Gold and Platinum selling albums in a brief but spectacular reign. This 6 CD + DVD book set includes the three albums – POP ART (1988), VELVETEEN (1989) and LITTLE MAGNETS VERSUS THE BUBBLE OF BABBLE (1991, on CD in the UK for the first time), plus 56 bonus tracks: single versions, the non-album B-sides and rarities, and two CDs of 12” single remixes. The DVD features ten promo videos, plus bonus features, all on DVD for the first time. The lavishly illustrated 56 page book features extensive annotation by Alan Robinson, based on brand new interviews with both Wendy James and Nick Christian Sayer.
