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.
 
Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
The Pretenders: Chrissie Hynde (vocals, guitar); James Honeyman Scott, Robbie McIntosh (guitar, background vocals); Adam Seymour (guitar); Malcolm Foster, Pete Farndon (bass guitar, background vocals); T.M. Stevens, Andy Hobson (bass guitar); Martin Chambers (drums, background vocals).
Additional personnel include: Johnny Marr , Billy Bremner (guitar); Paul Carrack (piano, background vocals); Bernie Worrell (keyboards); Tony Butler (bass guitar).
The Pretenders are a band that's easy to take for granted, yet every time one of their excellent singles--and there are lots of them--hits the radio, the response is invariably, "Oh my God, I love this song." When you begin to peel back the layers of the band itself--the alternately jangly and punchy guitars, the hard-as-nails rhythm section, and Chrissie Hynde's impeccable songcraft and unbelievably sensual alto--it's easy to make a case for the Pretenders as one of the best American rock bands of the post-'60s pop landscape.
PIRATE RADIO, the comprehensive, long overdue Pretenders box set, helps support that case. Spread out over four CDs are studio recordings, demos, live material, and alternate versions recorded between 1979 and 2005. In addition to the obvious inclusions ("Brass in Pocket;" "Back on the Chain Gang"), the full range of the Pretenders is represented, from rip-it-up rockers ("Precious") to gorgeous balladry ("2000 Miles"). And, finally, a bonus DVD of television appearances makes the case complete.

Producer: Bill Inglot (Compilation)

By: Peter Chakerian - Blogcritics.org Reviews

Quintessential collection celebrates Pretenders' heyday and brusque, vulnerable frontwoman Hynde, who set male-dominated music industry on its ear. Chrissie Hynde is a pioneer. After she got her foot in the male-dominated music industry door (during the original English punk movement), she kicked that door in squarely and decisively for female rockers all over the globe....read the full review

Professional Reviews
Rolling Stone (p.71)
- 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "From a punky 1978 'Precious' demo to adventurous LOOSE SCREW cuts from 2002, Hynde radiates both erotic vigor and uncommon sensitivity."

Uncut (p.120)
- 3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's a surprise that such a vagabond, itinerant existence lead to a group that would prove a model of classic consistency for the best part of three decades."

Mojo (Publisher)
(p.124)
- 4 stars out of 5 -- "Chrissie Hynde is the quality control. With her scabrously soulful voice and punchy songwriting, she ensured her band survived several line-up changes and the tragic death of two original members..."
