Wendy last toured the UK in 2019 with THE WENDY JAMES BAND opening for The Psychedelic Furs, and was a huge success. The Wendy James / Transvision Vamp ‘If Looks CouldKill’ poster… thisis the image which is on the ‘Kurt Shirt’ and was TransvisonVamp’s tour t-shirt in 1991to promote Little Magnets versus The Bubble Of Babble. The ‘Icon’ poster is literally the companion to the ‘Icon’ T-Shirt and is simply one of my favorite photos of all time. Both posters in ‘silk matte’ finish and A2 in size… WONDERFUL! I hope you all have managed to survive this pandemic year 2020 with as little fallout economically, physically and emotionally as possible!
