Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble

Little Magnets Versus the Bubble of Babble is the third and final album by UK pop rock band Transvision Vamp. The album was released in 1991, two years after their UK No. 1 album Velveteen.

This album did not get a UK release at the time due to disputes with their label. 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 not in the UK at the time. It was, however, released in Australia, where the band had enjoyed considerable success. The album peaked at No. 25 on the Australian Albums Chart. It was released in New Zealand where it reached No.14, and also released in Sweden, reaching No.27. 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 only Transvision Vamp album to feature co-writing credits for Wendy James.
