THE PRETENDERS "pretenders II" vinyl, 1981
the band's second album...
they've managed to hone their trademark sound down-pat already...
album starts off slightly punkish like the first album...
some bad language in the first two tracks...
again, like the debut, nothing on here I don't like...
favourite track is a cover...
"I go to sleep", written by Ray Davies but the Kinks never recorded it,
he wrote it for The Applejacks, I vaguely remember the original, but not really...
BTW, the final song "Louie Louie" is not a cover of the old classic, its a Pretenders original!...
all up, a fantastic album...
