Pretenders – Pretenders (180 Gr)

The milieu the Pretenders create on their self-titled debut didn’t exist when the album came out in early 1980. Such is the magnitude of originality, creativity, and nerve the band captured on a record that captivated each side of the Atlantic and both upended and advanced tradition. The no-nonsense set also announced the arrival of the inimitable Chrissie Hynde. Cited the 155th Greatest Album of All Time by Rolling Stone, Pretenders remains as contemporary now as it did 30-odd years ago. Mastered from the original master tapes, limited numbered edition.
