Description
The tiny hitch of breath before Chrissie Hynde leans into the first verse of Brass in Pocket still feels like a dare. Collected here on a 2LP set, The Pretenders’ The Singles (2LP) gathers the run of hits from the debut through the mid-’80s, no filler. Back on the Chain Gang chimes and swings, while Don’t Get Me Wrong sparkles with handclaps and that wry, skyward chorus; Brass in Pocket still struts with sly confidence. Spread over two records, there’s more space and the low end sits deeper, so the guitars ring and Martin Chambers’ snare snaps cleanly. It belongs on the shelf beside Blondie, but the rhythm section here hits a touch harder. If you’d rather order online, you can buy The Pretenders records online with us. Easy pick for a Saturday tidy in Melbourne, or a small gathering where you want hooks without fuss. Sequencing flows like the band’s own evolution, from wiry new wave to a sharper pop sheen, and the plays keep coming. Newcomers get the essentials in one hit, while long-timers will appreciate how evenly it plays front to back. You’ll find yourself flipping sides without skipping, because the sequencing actually gives these songs room to talk to each other. Order online now or swing past our Preston shop to pick it up.
