transvision vamp is a band i remember, but never really heard during their peak. mostly i remember them from reading the british music teen rag smash hits'...american version. after hearing about them on a kylie minogue message board, i decided to give them a shot. i came across this best of release and i must say i was pleasantly surprised.

they are loud, sassy and made some of the trashiest pop rock i've ever heard. as a transvision vamp virgin, i can say i was satisfired. granted there are a few fillers, but overall i was highly pleased. standout tracks for me were the epic "velveteen", "baby i don't care", "tell that girl to shut up", "kiss their sons", "if looks could kill" and the irresistable "sister moon" which i must have listened to 100 times since i got this cd.

The format may be bubblegum, but the arrangements, musicianship and even the lyrics are generally brilliant. The selection of tracks here is astute, including all the band's biggest hits. But if you liked this collection, you probably should have bought all their regular albums instead, because it's basically all this good. (Or nearly.) Best thing about this Best Of is the price... some of their original albums seem to be insanely expensive.

I bought this CD just because of the song "Baby I don't care" which I really like. However, to my surprise other songs in this cds are equally good as well.
Price of this cd is also reasonable. A must have for those who only know Transvision Vamp because of their hit song "Baby I don't care". You'll definitely love all the songs..A recommended buy.

This is a really great mix of late 80's Miss James tracks, and I like the remix's too.

This collection of Transvion songs is missing their best- Back on my knees again, Every little thing, You dont believe the type,and You put the spell on me all from LIttle bubble album. Bad Valentine is the one really great one on here. Falling for a gold mine and Down on you also would be great. So all in all, not actually the best of this band.

this music is so vacuous it almost breaks you heart, but it sounds so F-ing good. "baby I dont care" is one of the most nihilistic bubble gum songs of the 1980's.

Da li se secate Transvision Vamp? Da li mozete da ih zaboravite?
Tesko! Za samo tri godine postojanja od 1988 do 1991 bend je pruzio i vise nego sto je prosecni slusalac mogao da prihvati. Kompilaciju otvara singl I Want Your Love uz seksipilni glas Wendy James, a onda se hitovi samo redjaju jedan za drugim bez predaha. Velicanstveno.
Pravi dokument da legende ostaju legende.
Idealni poklonici PopArt koji su uspeli za samo tri godine da naprave kult i mit.
Ako ste ih ikada culi, znate vec da im je tesko odoleti.
