THE PRETENDERS "pretenders" vinyl 1979.
spurred on by MH playing and posting the band last week ive pulled out my five albums by the band
and am set to post them over the next week or so...
band's debut set...
side 1 of the vinyl is almost punkish, its fast, furious and pretty relentless
in its urgency...
the second side has what I call the trademark Pretenders sound...
one cover on it, Kinks' "stop your sobbing", love the original, love their version also...
album made top 10 just about everywhere and the massive hit "brass in pocket"
did the same, top 10 everywhere, #1 in the UK.
