Cover VG+.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the years, the Pretenders became a vehicle for guitarist\/vocalist Chrissie Hynde's songwriting, yet it was a full-fledged band when it was formed in the late '70s. With their initial records, the group crossed the bridge between punk\/new wave and Top 40 pop more than any other band, recording a series of hard, spiky singles that were also melodic and immediately accessible. Hynde was an invigorating, sexy singer who bent the traditional male roles of rock \u0026amp; roll to her own liking, while guitarist James Honeyman-Scott created a sonic palette filled with suspended chords, effects pedals, and syncopated rhythms that proved remarkably influential over the next two decades. After Honeyman-Scott's death, the Pretenders became a more straightforward rock band, yet Hynde's semi-autobiographical songwriting and bracing determination meant that the group never became just another rock band, even when their music became smoother and more pop-oriented. \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thepretenders.com\/\"\u003ewww.thepretenders.com\/\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide One:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Precious\" - 3:36\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Phone Call\" - 2:29\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Up the Neck\" - 4:27\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Tattooed Love Boys\" - 2:59\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Space Invader\" (Pete Farndon, James Honeyman-Scott) - 3:26\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"The Wait\" (Hynde, Farndon) - 3:35\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Stop Your Sobbing\" (Ray Davies) - 2:38 (produced by Nick Lowe)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide Two:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Kid\" - 3:06\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Private Life\" - 6:25\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Brass in Pocket\" (Honeyman-Scott, Hynde) - 3:04\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Lovers of Today\" - 5:51\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\"Mystery Achievement\" - 5:23\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Real Records","offers":[{"title":"Sweden","offer_id":85296872,"sku":"ral3","price":40.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false},{"title":"EU (NM\/VG+)","offer_id":12322623815780,"sku":"","price":60.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/2072\/products\/27037.jpg?v=1571438542","url":"https:\/\/recordpusher.live\/products\/pretenders-pretenders","provider":"RecordPusher - International Vinyl Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
