About this album

Velveteen is Transvision Vamp’s strongest and most memorable statement, sharpening their glossy pop-rock into a snarling, chart-ready attack. Released in 1989, it followed the breakthrough success of their debut and doubled down on Wendy James’s mischievous vocal swagger and the band’s riff-heavy, radio-friendly sound. Backed by punchy production and big choruses, the album turned songs such as Baby I Don’t Care and Landslide of Love into MTV-era staples, helping establish the group as one of late-1980s Britain’s most visible pop-rock acts. Its blend of attitude, melody and punkish glamour remains the reason the record endures.
