Product Details

Pretenders II arrived in 1981 under enormous pressure, recorded in the shadow of the deaths of guitarists James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon, both of whom were still in the band during its making. That Chrissie Hynde delivered something as sharp and uncompromising as "Message of Love" and "Talk of the Town" under those circumstances says everything about her resilience as a songwriter and frontwoman.

Curated by Chrissie Hynde, Pretenders II is presented in a striking 12x12 3CD deluxe set, featuring a high-quality book with brand-new liner notes by acclaimed journalist Will Hodgkinson. Also includes a myriad of rare and unseen photos of the band. Pretenders II (Deluxe Edition) features a remastered version of the album by Chris Thomas, demos, and alternates alongside two live performances; one from Central Park, New York City in 1980, and an electric show from The Santa Monica Civic in 1981.
