Great tune off a great album, despite the lack of Chrissy Hynde's vocals. too bad "Precious" keeps getting denied.

Heh - nice 2fer.

This album was a huge part of my 1980 soundtrack. And the ONLY way to play it just like this! ...with "The Wait"{#Bananajam} following this track!

I won this album in a radio call-in contest back when it came out. Back in the days when they weren't afraid to play "Precious" on the radio.
Still one of my favorite albums.

Then you must by the first album.  One of the greatest debut albums ever.

That is a bass tone to emulate I'd say.  Perfect SVT grunge.

logged on to rate it an 8 and found that I already had. Great minds think alike, apparently.

Holy crap.  Space Invaders chased by Nick Lowe's "Shake That Rat"...  Floundering here, but loving it.  I'd never heard the Pretenders'  "Space Invaders" song before, but my radar picked it up as it was trying to fly under it...
