Owen Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) This iteration of The Pretenders really did it for me. The whole of the first album hit the spot in all sorts of ways.

Old Man Riva Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 One of my favourite bass players on one of my favourite albums. Bought it when it came out and it had the cool album sleeve poster inside. Also had an odd message (either on the vinyl or the album sleeve, can’t remember) that said ‘play loud’ or some such - something to do with how it had been mastered/pressed and the amount of music contained on a single LP. Always thought Pete Farndon was such a cool dude, and a real rock ‘n’ roll player - he was considered as Pete Way’s replacement in UFO at one point?! Oh, and James Honeyman-Scott’s solo on Private Life is one of life’s great musical pleasures… 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickeyboro Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Went and formed a band with a similar line-up after seeing them at Hammersmith Palais! Fabulous. Edited April 21 by Mickeyboro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
White Cloud Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 An excellent musician and lesson in point on the dangers of getting tangled with interband relations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Browning Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The JH-S solo on Kid is worthy of mention too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 To be fair, all the guitar work is the right stuff. And the rhythm section support of it is the right stuff. And it was captured to tape so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NancyJohnson Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I always recall reading that James Honeyman-Scott had threatened to quit The Pretenders because of Farndon's drug use; Farndon was fired and, ironically, James Honeyman-Scott was dead of a drug overdose three days later. Just say no, kids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
