Album: Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble by Transvision Vamp (1991)
Genre: Alternative Rock | Style: Rock/Pop
Record Label: MCA Records
Format: Album

Description: Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble was the third album by UK pop rock band Transvision Vamp. The album was released in 1991, two years after their UK #1 album Velveteen.
This album did not follow in the successful footsteps of the two previous albums and sold poorly. Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble took on a more mellow sound which was the reason that their record company at one stage refused to release it - it was eventually released in the US but never in the UK. It was however, released in Australia where the band had enjoyed considerable success. The album peaked at #25 on the Australian Albums Chart. Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble produced a few singles but before a UK release could be re-considered, Transvision Vamp broke up.
This was the first (and only) Transvision Vamp album to feature co-writing credits for Wendy James.
