Pretenders – Learning to Crawl 180g Mofi Vinyl

£49.95

1984 Smash the Sound of a Band Overcoming Tragedies and Staggering Odds with Gutsy Performances

What is the sound of a fledgling band dealing with multiple tragedies, coming to terms with drastic changes, digging deep into its consciousness, finding resolution in hurt, and overcoming staggering odds to record a bonafide masterwork? It’s the sound of every note that graces the Pretenders’ Learning to Crawl. Still recognized as one of the most emotionally gripping and musically gutsy performances ever made, the smash 1984 album hasn’t aged a day. And now, it sounds better than could ever be imagined.

Pretenders – Pretenders – 180g Mofi Vinyl

Pretenders’ Self-Titled Record Moves Fast With Biting Hooks, Soulful Melodies, and Guitar-Charged Toughness

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.
