Guess what..?
The ELM STREET gig was recorded on video…
Ahem…
I haven’t uploaded video footage since before Christmas..
I must start again soon..
Especially with NORTHCOTE lying there..
Ready for public viewing..
In all it’s Wife-Beater Technicolour glory..
And there’s all those oft mentioned “backstage” clips too..
You’ll Believe A Wendy Robot Can Cry…
(oh boy can she..!)
Busy Summer Ahead..
Wink
See ya

“La Lettre Video De Suicide De La Wendy….”
(Wendy’s Video Suicide Note…)
DryBaby Delivers Yet Again..
This is the “outtake” footage which was on the “Looks Could Kill” video..
MCA (US) didn’t want to release it to the public’s eyes..
MCA (UK) lied about it even existing..
MCA (Ger) brought it out for a VERY short time and then took it back..
CAN YOU SPOT WHY….?
Wendy talks about the “last time she had sex”…
(before Christmas 1990/1991 apparently…who knew?)
This was when she was telling all the magazines she was SINGLE…
Whoops…
Wendy obviously thinks the whole thing is a big joke…
(A joke at the expense of the public that is..!)
She has a fit of the giggles..
(Maybe it was somethin’ she was smokin..?)
Wendy was obviously told this footage..
WOULD NEVER BE SEEN IN PUBLIC…
By both the interviewer (Tony Van Ende) and the production company..
THEY LIED…
Who knew..?
Wendy certainly didn’t..
Same Old Same Old..
Enjoy.
(Although not if you’re “someone” recording your 3rd album at the mo’..)
A Gift from yours truly..
A million times more “evil” than so called Evil James Meynell..
and 10 million times more spikey than his brother Spiky Phil Meynell..
Jesus H Christ.
Wanna tell some more lies now Wendy..?
Thought not.

Puis vint le tour de Racine, groupe à tendance New-Wave mené par une blonde péroxydée déjantée. Elle arrive sur scène la clope au bec, le slim parfaitement taillé, une dégaine tout droit sortie des eighties, le t-shirt engagé : Every song is dope, signé herself. Elle est également escortée par des musiciens semblant porté l’étiquette made in London : aux percus, j’aperçois le sosie de Sébastien Tellier, à la gratte un mec qui ressemble à un ado aux cheveux gras mais qui devait être certainement plus âgé que moi, à la basse, un espèce de jeune lord anglais avec le foulard noué autour du cou (et pour le coup, un slim qui lui tenait bien chaud les fesses aussi) et au clavier un goldenboy complètement absorbé par son jeu de scène, à fond dans son tambourinage de notes. La bande ne tarde pas à mettre le feu à la salle, qui s’est remplie au fur et à mesure et qui s’est mis au diapason. La chanteuse, tantôt braillant, tantôt chantant dégage une énergie communicatrice. T’as les hanches qui commencent à faire des mouvements circulaires, puis tu te mets à taper des pieds, pour finalement t’apercevoir que ta tête se balance, fait des oui, puis des nons. Attention, furieusement dansant..!!!
Merci a “..a girl on the verge of a rebirth”…
This is the infamous Australia MTV interview from 1989.
When Nick Sayer did his ONLY major television interview.
(he was clearly self conscious about his obvious lisp..)
Wendy speaks about being strong enough to refuse drugs when they are offered to you.(?!?)
Cough….practice what you preach….cough.
During the course of Transvision Vamp (1986-1991)
Nick only did about 5 interviews in total.
Mostly magazines
This is basically the ONLY t.v one.
Wendy did 99% of the them.
Nick ended up with 99% of the songwriting royalties.
Wendy didn’t.
Smart Nick.
Wendy said in 1989 Nick was her best friend ever and her ex-boyfriend…
Wendy claims now she NEVER had a relationship with Nick Sayer.
Sure babe…whatever.
An easy mistake to make.
Let us know when that story’s “facts” changes again…won’t you?
This is Transvision Vamp “performing” the song “I Just wanna” on the Aspel Show..
Without the soundtrack..
(You’ve all heard THAT song a million times by now..so you know what it sounds like)
Looks very strange and fascinating doesn’t it?…
Tex is pretending to play (bang) the drum kit badly.
(but only the symbol is being slightly touched..See?)
Dave and Nick are obviously playing their guitars to some other song..
They aren’t even vaguely in “sync” with the song’s structure.
Wendy looks like she is giving birth.
Ask her to sing this song at the next Racine gig…
After all she co wrote it.
Didn’t she..?
Obviously Tex,Dave and Nick didn’t want to do an interview then,huh…?
Anonymous Drones in Racine take note..
This is the first part of the Tinkerbell interview…
Wendy has just been performing “I Just Wanna” for the very first time publically
(You have to understand everyone thought it was a guaranteed hit..no doubt about it)
Yes….Wendy IS wearing high heels shoes…
and the two men still tower over her.
The other guest on the show later was Maureen Lipman (actress and comedienne)
Wendy got into a “disagreement” with her when she criticised her for “selling herself ” to a UK telephone company.
(Maureen is jewish and had played a “stereotypical jewish mother” in the very popular commercials..)
Maureen L reminded Wendy that she had been sponsored by Levi’s Jeans (a jewish company) in 1989
and worked for Universal which had a large number of jewish shareholders..
and said that “at least I didn’t sell myself naked..” (half jokingly and got a round of applause)
The rest of the interview was frosty to say the least.
A week later Wendy appeared in the jacket and piled up hair image .
This is the second part of the Tinkerbell interview.
Wendy discusses where Transvision Vamp got their name..
And how a band must be careful not to pick a stupid name..
Cough……Racine……Cough
Legs still tightly shut together.
Good Girl.
This is the very first “public” interview for “I Just Wanna” in 1991.
Although Wendy is a bit “tired from doin’ a bit of mimin’..”
(that clip will be uploaded later)
This was a UK chat show called “Aspel”
(The presenter was Micheal Aspel thus the stunningly unique name)
The other guest in Micheal Palin (Monty Python..World Trips..Nice guy etc)
Wendy is showing off her (short lived) Slutty TinkerBell look..
She is obviously looking forward to 1991….
Nothing can go wrong can it?
(cue Jaws theme tune..da,dum…da,dum…)
Each of the 4 potential singles from the album were to have a “different” look
The next one was Looks Could Kill’s “We’re Screwed!” look.
There were no more after that.
Wendy does her “American accent” in this part of the interview…
(Look away if you are squemish..it is not pretty and she looks suitably embarrassed..)
Notice her legs are tucked very neatly one behind the other…
Like a Lady.
Like the photo in the slide show over at Racine.
This is Craig Ferguson interviewing Wendy in 1991.
Craig is now a well know actor and chat show host in the US.
He openly admits he was an Alcoholic.
He says he was drunk from the late 80’s until 1999.
Wendy is using her “hoarse” voice as she has just been singing.
Craig is obviously drunk.
These are the final two parts of the Irish Interview from 1991.
It contains the strangest answer she has EVER given to a question.
I won’t spoil it for you.
This is the 3rd (and final) part of the Pat Kenny Interview.
This interview has NEVER been shown again since it’s original broadcast.
Wendy sings live.
She denied she had been given a crash course in singing lessons.
Universal later claimed she had.
(However she is using classic “breathing and intonation” during the high notes so you decide…)
Wendy only sang that song 2 more times publically.
Not once in England.
Never in the US.
The audience look like they were just dug up from a local graveyard.
(The show is aimed almost entirely at “elderly viewers”)
This is STILL Wendy’s longest interview in 16 years…!
She was never invited back even when launching Racine.
Or her recent Irish gigs (2007)
Universal weren’t “paying” for her appearence this time
John Reynolds’ Pod Promotions (“Crawdaddy” owners) have no power on Irish tv..
(They “organised” the Hot Press and Irish Times interviews by calling in favours..)
Enjoy.
(Nice stylish screenshot huh?…Now THAT is what should have been on the front of the album sleeve…)
DryBaby does it again!
This is Part 2 of the Pat Kenny Interview (1993)
Wendy continues with her “stagey” style.
But you do learn a hell of a lot.
She does of course speak about the “Costello” album.
and yep says it was “the best thing that ever could have happened to me”
Funny woman.
This Part 1 of the infamous Pat Kenny Interview 1993 (Ireland)
Her responses and reactions seem VERY stage managed and measured.
As if she is conscious of Universal Executives watching her.
This interview was seen as a “dry run” for potentially bigger profile interviews through 1993.
Which were all cancelled when Wendy “bailed” in the Summer of that year.
“Now ain’t” was deleted from the Universal Catalogue in August 1993.
Wendy claims she was NOT “coached” by Universal Records.
To seem “better” in this interview.
Universal seem to be less positive.
“Obviously we didn’t want her putting her foot in her mouth again,did we?”
Universal “source” 1994 (guess who?)
Wendy says the people in Transvision Vamp are her “best friends and still are”
What does that make the current Anonymous Drones in Racine..?
Stay Tuned for Prts 2 & 3 (and live version of “Do You Know”)
Later.
This is the previously unshown clip of Wendy doing a “sting” in Canada.
(A sting is when an artist “introduces” their own clip and is used for adverts later..)
Notice Wendy’s “spontaneous” excitement that Much Music is going to play Born to Be Sold…!
“Oh joy of joys.I must tell ze birds…”
The Producers (Mel Brooks)
This was January 1990.
Born to be Sold was originally released on November 5th 1989.
She would have seen this video endless times…
(and it doesn’t change…there was no “directors cut” of it for instance….with added CGI..)
So her “excitement and joy” is so obviously pre-prepared and fake.
Just a little performance for the Canadians….
She also wrote Born to Be Sold apparently.
