Transvision Vamp were an English pop rock band. Formed in 1986 by Nick Christian Sayer and Wendy James, the band enjoyed chart success in the late 1980s, particularly in 1989. James, the lead singer and focal-point of the group, attracted media attention with her sexually charged and rebellious image. They scored 10 UK chart hits and also enjoyed considerable success in Australia. Their top single was 1989's "Baby I Don't Care", which reached number three on the UK and Australian charts. Career The band's original line-up was James, Sayer, Dave Parsons (bass), Tex Axile (keyboards) and Pol Burton (drums). Parsons and Axile had both been in punk bands prior to joining the band; Parsons in The Partisans, and Axile in various bands, most notably The Moors Murderers and X-Ray Spex offshoot Agent Orange. The band were signed by MCA in December 1986 and released their first single, "Revolution Baby", the following year. It stalled at number 77 in the UK in September 1987. A cover of the Holly and the Italians' song, "Tell That Girl to Shut Up", was released as the band's second single in March 1988, reaching 45 on the UK Singles Chart. The single became their only charting entry on the US Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at 87. The band's third single, "I Want Your Love", with its pop/punk crossover appeal, became their first major hit, topping the Norwegian singles chart, and peaking within the top 10 in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, and Switzerland. Their next single was a re-release of "Revolution Baby", which rose to number 30 in the UK, 17 in Ireland, 24 in Australia and New Zealand. The fourth single, "Sister Moon", narrowly missed the UK top 40 at number 41. In October 1988 the band released their debut album, Pop Art. It was a major success in the UK where it stayed on the album chart for 32 weeks, peaking at number 4. The album achieved a similar level of success in Australia, where it was certified platinum, and placed as the 25th highest-selling album of 1989. The album also did well in Switzerland (number 20) and Sweden (number 25). 1989 proved to be the band's most successful year, with the release of the single "Baby I Don't Care". The single peaked at number three in both the UK and Australia, making it the band's most successful single
