Original 1987 single release

"Revolution Baby" is the debut single by Transvision Vamp and was originally released in August 1987[3] when it only managed to reach #77 on the UK Singles Chart. After the band's breakthrough in 1988 with the release of "I Want Your Love", "Revolution Baby" was subsequently reissued in September of that year,[4] this time reaching #30 in the UK and #24 in Australia. The sleeve design differed radically between the 1987 and 1988 issues as did the track listings.
