Pretenders - Pretenders (2018 Remaster)

Pretenders is widely regarded as one of the greatest debut albums of all time. The 1980 album features Chrissie Hynde's incredible vocals and guitar, James Honeyman-Scott's glistening guitar, Pete Farndon's driving bass and Martin Chambers' drums. The record is quintessential new wave and a defining album of the '80s. 

It started with the release of their first single, a cover of The Kinks' "Stop Your Sobbing", produced by Nick Lowe. It would end up a top 40 hit in the UK, along with their follow-up single "Kid" also reaching the top 40 across the pond. It was their signature single "Brass In Pocket", leading with a glorious guitar rhythm embodied by luscious chorus, that launched Pretenders onto a different level. It went on to become a global smash single, topping the charts in numerous countries.

Heavyweight vinyl produced by Warner Music UK in 2021. Remastered by the album's original producer Chris Thomas. Made in Germany.
