THANK YOU TO JAMES MEYNELL, JAMES SCLAVUNOS, JARED FISHER AND BOB WILSON for being my BAND, MY FRIENDS, MY TRUSTED COMPANIONS, MY INSPIRATION, and for making me SO HAPPY.

He said, ‘I’ve got no idea, probably in the vaults of Universal.’ But what are you going to do? Move to New York with a bunch of gold records under your arm? The idea of carrying loads of luggage was irritating to me.” It has been the most incredible month of UK shows, press, radio, rehearsals, laughs, love, challenges, triumphs, musical triumphs and moments with you: The Fans of my music, old and new, who have just kept on, kept on being with me, toe to toe, every step of the way! Plus at the moment, through until August 15th there is ‘SUMMER LUV-IN’ discount available for any item in the store… THE WENDY JAMES BAND TOUR is getting bigger and bigger and I really think it’s going to work out to everyone’s advantage that the delay has happened…I can read philosophical and political bias into why my album cover is of great virtue, but the truth is my body was looking fit,” she says. There is a bundle offer for both signed singles on vinyl or The second single on signed vinyl + t-shirt Buy here: Buy here: Wendy James’s third solo album I Came Here To Blow Minds is now available in very limited supplies on this PledgeMusic project.

The picture disc vinyl 12” will be numbered 1 through 250 copies and also signed by Wendy within the vinyl itself. A real collectors item. These are undoubtedly collectors items and of value… especially so as they will never be re-produced. Ever the escape artist, James left home on her 16th birthday and moved to Brighton, where she saw her first gig – The Clash – and decided she needed to carry on the good work of Joe Strummer. Unlike some of her peers, James was unapologetically ambitious, which must have been rather unfashionable, let alone un-English.I’ve been unfettered,” James says now of her upbringing. “I think it’s a tremendous advantage. A lot of people start having the same habits as their parents and I don’t have any of that, nor do I have any hang-up about illnesses. I haven’t got any of those preconditioned fears in my mind about illness or genetic failings. I have no roadmap.” That philosophy’s come too late for James’ stash of Transvision Vamp paraphernalia, which she metaphorically burned to a cinder. If you buy the 7” Vinyl now with the official T-shirt featuring LP art, you can have them both signed by Wendy in time to mail out on

On the other hand, if you put me in any situation where I’m going toe-to-toe with anyone, of course, I will play to win.” Having turned 50 in January, James has lost interest in trash-punk anthems and sending outrage meters into the red. I can’t remember what journalists have said bad things about me – it goes in one ear and out the other. I just do what I do and I concentrate on myself.” Since moving to New York in 2002 (Paris is but a dalliance), James has cultivated a psychogeographical fascination with the grimier neighbourhoods.

Nowadays it’s an upper-middle class shopping mall for people who want to go to Bed Bath & Beyond and J-Crew, but it’s still exciting that I’m walking in the same Union Square that Andy Warhol’s Factory was in. I suppose if I’ve learned anything, it’s that before you burn all your bridges you should take a deep breath and look at the whole picture.” Dates are booking up for May, I’ve got two UK Television shows I admire asking for live performances and Radio is gradually getting on board and playing Bad Intentions and Indigent Blues. When Keith Richards writes for the Stones there are these close harmonies, right on the edge,” she says. “He was a great advocate of Gram Parsons and I love, love, love those blended harmonies.” This is the first front cover I ever did. Photographed by legendary David Bailey and styled by an icon of the fashion world, Isabella Blow. I think it looks amazing too!

DO what they SAY they’re going to do. And I could not be more happy, more proud, more optimistic than I am now!And once again Thank YOU for being so truly amazing in your love and loyalty for my music and for me… Literally, I couldn’t do it without you. He plays in a bar every Sunday near where he lives. Obviously he doesn’t need to do that, but similarly I’ve never known James to take a day off. It’s the same with me; I’m a workaholic. Thank you my wonderful friends who are there for me, at all times 100% no question. Thank you to Wolfe, Paula and Sean who have been my family in London while I’ve been here!
