Despite almost universal critical hatred, Transvision Vamp briefly rose to the top of the U.K. charts in the late '80s, thanks largely to the media image of lead singer Wendy James, who fashioned herself as a sexually provocative, rebellious, fashion-conscious punk – sort of a mixture of Madonna, Blondie's Deborah Harry, T. Rex, and the Clash. This album is satisfying from start to finish, a rare thing. It's pure fun–Wendy James' outrageously over-the-top, stoned, breathy vocals are deliberately ridiculous, but they work fine with the expertly crafted, irresistible rhythms of these songs. There's a great depth and reverb space to the sound, and a carefree psychedelic attitude. Sung by a she-cat who's clearly in heat.

The band's promo videos are finally freed from the shackles of VHS and are available on the DVD included with this new package (which includes some bonus features, such as a Wendy James interview).
