Transvision Vamp - Velveteen [FLAC] (1989)

Transvision Vamp was a popular UK alternative rock group. Formed in 1986 by Nick Christian Sayer and Wendy James, the band enjoyed a brief period of success in the late 1980s, fusing elements of punk, art rock and the "big band" sound of Phil Spector. Wendy, the lead singer and focal-point of the group, attracted media attention with her sexually-charged and rebellious image.
The band was signed by MCA and released a cover single of the Holly and the Italians song "Tell That Girl To Shut Up" in April 1988. A month later the follow-up single "I Want Your Love", with its pop/punk crossover appeal, entered the Top 10 in the United Kingdom. The band went on to release the hit album Pop Art in October.
1989 was the band's most successful year, with the number 3 hit single "Baby I Don't Care" and hit album Velveteen. In 1990 MCA refused to release Transvision Vamp's third album Little Magnets Versus The Bubble Of Babble in the UK, reportedly disliking the mellower direction of the music. It came out in America and did better than the other two albums in America. Later Wendy went on to a solo career and in 2004 formed the band Racine.
