Editorial Reviews

Import only double album consisting of a 22-track Best Of CD packaged together with the 2008 studio album Break Up The Concrete . The album Break Up The Concrete is The Pretenders 1st release in the UK since 2002 and sees Chrissie Hynde at her blistering best. Attacking from the off in mind-blowing fashion with the rockabilly stomper Boots Of Chinese Plastic , which sets the tone for the rest of the record.

The 22 track Best Of disc contains a mountain of hits, which brings all the most memorable moments from their incredible 30-year career together. From the majestic Talk Of The Town to the instantly recognisable opening bar of No.1 smash Back On The Chain Gang . The hits come in thick and fast, featuring the ever popular Brass In Pocket , Don t Get Me Wrong , I ll Stand By You and many, many more. Warner. 2009.

Especially if you have held off adding some Pretenders to your Cd collection; you could do no better than taking advantage of this killer 2 fer 1 deal and purchase The Best of the Pretenders 2009 + Break Up the ConcreteI remember buying their debut album on vinyl when it first came out and enjoying the throwback rockabilly feel meshed with a punk rock sensibility. Then in the 80's they kinda went mainstream and radio was full of "back on the chain gang'" and "I'll Stand by You". Now you have the opportunity to get 22 of their career defining hits + an album of new 'countrified' material, for a knockdown price through one of our amazon sellers. Take the deal!...I did and I'm enjoying a dose of Chrissie Hynde for a steal of a deal.

My music has been through 4 formats since I was in high school, each time I upgrade it seems someone falls through the cracks. I'm loving this, something from my youth & something new. I had forgotten how much I love Chrissies voice & she still sounds great!
