Despite well-nigh universal joint critical hate, Transvision Vamp briefly rose to the top of the U.K. charts in the late '80s, thanks largely to the media epitome of jumper lead vocalist Wendy James, wHO fashioned herself as a sexually provocative, ill-affected, fashion-conscious punk -- sort of a potpourri of Madonna, Blondie's Deborah Harry, T. Rex, and the Clash. The musical backing by guitarist/songwriter Nick Christian Sayer, keyboardist Tex Axile, bassist Dave Parsons, and drummer Pol Burton tended to shine the latter three bands as well. The singles "Secern That Girl to Shut Up" (originally by Holly and the Italians) and the Top Five "I Want Your Love" helped their debut album, Pour down Art, hit the British Top Five, patch the follow-up, Velveteen, hit the top of the inning, buoyed by the Top Three rack up "Baby I Don't Care." The group's unravel halted when MCA ab initio refused to release Little Magnets Vs. the Bubble of Babble in the U.K.; it eventually appeared in 1991 to little attention.
