| Description: | The milieu the Pretenders create on their groundbreaking 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, one of the greatest singer-songwriters in rock history, gender be damned. Equally significant, the album remains just one of two studio efforts featuring the original members before tragedy ended the lives of guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon. - This release has a short biography of the band on the rear, beneath the four images of the band members. There is [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2426619]another similar release[/url] on which only the red highlighted words "Pretenders" (twice), and "Pretenders II" appear in the bio section.
