![Album: “Pirate Radio [Box]”](http://i.pricerunner.com/img/muze/cd_us/66/15/751566.jpg "Album: “Pirate Radio [Box]”") Description
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).
<p>Additional personnel include: Johnny Marr , Billy Bremner (guitar); Paul Carrack (piano, background vocals); Bernie Worrell (keyboards); Tony Butler (bass guitar).
<p>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.
<p>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.
