Now, after the release of THE SHAPE OF HISTORY and the UK IN-STORE TOUR I did, both which were received so well! The album charted and the audiences I sang to and met on the tour were wonderful! Thank you!!
I have a handful of the ARTWORK PROOFS for both the DELUXE CD and the DELUXE VINYL!
They are collector items and really beautiful bits of art on thick card from the production company. These limited edition proofs are made so that approval can be given to go into full production. I will sign and personalize with your name. This is a lovely artwork to own, to frame, to hang on the wall. A bona-fide collectors item. They come in two styles:
DELUXE CD ARTWORK PROOF
87 x 62 xm
*Signed & Personalized
DELUXE VINYL ARTWORK PROOF
68 x 72 cm
*Signed & Personalized
I also have four sets of THE SHAPE OF HISTORY VINYL TEST PRESSING EDITIONS. You receive a 12” test pressing and a 10” test pressing!
With audio quality top of mind, the album is split into 2 vinyls! 9 songs on the 12″ and the remaining 4 songs on 10″. This way you get the deepest grooves, the best sound! The 12” plays at 33RPM, the 10” plays at 45RPM. These are test pressings I used to confirm that the pressing plant could go into full production! I will sign and personalize for you! Once again: a collector item!

I love this song, track 13, and I say of it: “Some things never change, I’ll always be the wild girl dancing on table tops till dawn. I love the movie ‘Smithereens’ (1982) by director Susan Seidelman (before she made ‘Desperately Seeking Susan’). That movie woke me up, a clarion call! Where I belonged! Where I was headed! Downtown NYC. I had my first crush from that movie! Richard Hell is so pouty, so mean, but quite nice too?! The opening scene with actress Susan Berman as Wren, going down into the subway and stealing the two-tone sunglasses out of the hands of another passenger, all to the hypnotic sound of The Feelies ‘The Boy With The Perpetual Nervousness’ was everything I wanted! Wren goes to the Peppermint Lounge every night to hand out flyers for herself. It’s a rock n roll look at broke down NYC, The Bowery and The Lower East Side. For me, this is heaven! My teenage in Ladbroke Grove had it’s share of misdeeds, scrapes and hi capers in the West London underworld, but when I listen to my New York musician friends talk about their time in no electricity lofts, no elevators, rats, junkies, thieves, my heart goes zing! So that’s what this is! It’s ‘The Shape Of History’ my history. It’s Desperately Seeking Susan, It’s Smithereens, it’s Scorsese’s ‘After Hours’ it’s CBGB, it’s Max’s Kansas City, The Peppermint Lounge, it’s downtown NYC, it’s Cindy Wilson screaming “I’ll give you fish, I’ll give you candy” It’s me, forever, dancing on tables tops til dawn.”
So….. All this in addition to (most!) of my previous music, pictures discs, splatter pattern vinyls, double vinyls, 7” singles, cds, t-shirts, posters, and other goodies including the last of my box-fresh first addition Transvision Vamp vinyls!
I love you all so much! And I will see you on the road in 2025! I cannot wait!!!!!!
Wendy xoxo
