Over 29 years the one constant in The Pretenders has been Chrissie Hynde. But who cares? As long as she continues to give us music of this quality every couple of years.

This time she went into the studio with the latest version of her band and laid down these 11 tracks in 12 days. Now, that's laying a gauntlet down.* When you do that you are leaving all your safety catches off. Either the material and performance stands up, or, down you fall.

Chrissie and her Pretenders can walk tall with this record.

This is an love letter - in eleven songs sized bites - to live in the studio recording, fender amps, and that wonderful instrument that is Chrissie Hynde's voice. I mean, it sounded great, confident and sexy ... Read More:

The Pretenders, like their more fashionable new wave contemporaries Blondie, had the ability to marry melodic, edgy pop with sassy lyrics in a fashion that appealed to singles-buyers and radio programmers alike. This chronological collection, including UK No. 1 'Brass In Pocket', illustrates that well.

Usually when it comes to critics lists of classic debut albums, one album tends to be ignored, The Pretenders. Perhaps they're not seen as hip enough but there's no doubt The Pretenders debut is worthy of classic status. 12 great tracks which showcased the songwriting talent of Chrissie Hynde. What's more she had a great voice, one of the great female voices of the last 30 years. She adopts a rock chic image for most of these songs but there's more to her than a Pamela Des Barres archetype. There's a deep sensitivity in Lovers Of Today and Kid, while Private Life, brilliantly covered by Grace Jones, shows a mocking disregard for crass sentimentality. Rockers such as Precious, The Phone Call and Wait display the remnants of her punk ... Read More:

Back when they started, The Pretenders were an awesome force. Chrissie Hynde's searing vocals combined with the force of the band members made them feel untouchable. Their debut album rocked from start to finish, and this was an amazing follow up - possibly it is let down only by the final track, but other than that it's a tour de force in hard rock mixed with rock ballads and is hard to beat... It's unfortunate that the band suffered drug issues and two deaths soon after. They were never really the same after these first two albums, so if you really want to know how great the Pretenders were, get the 1 and 2 albums...

7.Pretenders: Remastered & Expanded by: Pretenders
October 09, 2006
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

>>More Details
Music : Pretenders: Remastered & Expanded
This collection is what every re-issue should be about: put the original album on one CD, remaster it to give improved sound, and then add a nice disc of rare and interesting material. And give it a sensible price.

The album itself is simply one of the greatest debuts ever, but the demos and live tracks are not just filler. While some tracks were available in the vinyl era on various 45s and EPs, most are unreleased. The remastered sound is much improved over the existing issue and sounds more like the LP, which in this case is all for the best.

This is the first in a series of re-issues of Pretenders CDs and I look forward to the rest.
