Product Description
On "Brass in Pocket," one of the pretenders earliest singles-and their first to chart in the U.S., scoring #14 in Billboard-Chrissie Hynde sings, "I'm special, so special, I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me." Formed in London in '78 with Hynde, James Honeyman Scott, Martin Chambers, and Pete Farndon, the band received massive attention for that hit and other stellar songs from their 1980 self-titled debut album. Via impeccable musicianship and Hynde's charismatic persona-equal parts cool swagger, tough-but vulnerable lyrics and vocals, and idiosyncratic rhythm guitar-the Pretenders reinvented the concept of a woman in rock 'n' roll and became one of the most popular and distinctive acts in the world. Chrissie Hynde's singular presence has never ceased to build on their artistic legacy, chronicled now for the first time in Pirate Radio

Excellent Value / The Standard for Retrospective Box Sets, March 17, 2006
By J. Gambino
I will try to keep this short. Anyone who has appreciated the Pretenders music even casually, such as myself, will value this collection. First, and most important to me, is that the sound quality is excellent. It is packaged very well in a safe, neat, easily accessable and usable manner. The photos and written material are wonderful and well researched. This is no budget box set. It is done with a level of care and professionalism commensurate with the quality of music created by the performers. This would make a treasured gift to someone who enjoys popular music.
