Wendy James Interview

Transvision Vamp - Baby I Don't Care 

Undoubtedly, the band reached their peak with the No.1 album Velveteen in 1989.  Baby I Don't Care, the first single taken from the album, reached No.3 and was their biggest seller.

I bought the Velveteen album on cassette, but sadly it got chewed up by my cheap car radio/cassette player in my Mini Metro! It was a great album - I think I'll get the CD version.

Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love (1988)

I Want Your Love was the first chart hit for the band, peaking at #5 in the UK. The single was taken from the debut album, Pop Art which reached #4 in the UK during 1988. The other three singles released from the album were; Revolution Baby (reissue reached No.30 in the UK singles chart), Sister Moon (#41 UK) and Tell That Girl to Shut Up (#45 UK) which was a cover of a song by American pop punk band Holly and the Italians. The original release of the Revolution Baby single failled to chart.

Transvision Vamp - The Only One (1989)

The Only One was the second single to be lifted from the #1 (UK) album Velveteen. It spent six weeks in the singles chart and peaked at #15 in the UK. It managed to reach #30 in Australia. Two more tracks featured on the 7", 12" and CD version of the single which were; The Mystery Song and Love Me.

Transvision Vamp - Landslide of Love (1989)

Landslide of Love was the third single to be released from the band's second album Velveteen. It charted for five weeks in the UK, peaking at #14.

The Velveteen album reached #1 in the UK and #2 in Australia.
