Free Music Review: DESERVING OVERVIEW OF THE PRETENDERS, ABSOLUTELY!!!
Hit: 5 Stars

Having just gotten the box, and listened to it all, I would agree with all the accolades this set has received here, and then some. I've been waiting a long time for a set like this to get released, and it was very much worth it. I always thought that their prior hits collections never did this band any justice because many of their best tunes were never released as singles. Many album tracks got played on rock and new-wave oriented stations, more so than so-called hits on Top-40. Songs from their first 3 albums and EP like "Message Of Love", "Mystery Achievement", "The Wait", "My City Was Gone", "Time The Avenger" and more. I always loved these songs and was always disappointed by their hits collections because these songs would never be included.

Now, with important bands and artists getting overviews and boxset treatments, I always thought and knew that Chrissie and the Pretenders would get this type of overview, in time, and I was right. As much as my patience was wearing thin, I just KNEW something like this would get done; I just had to wait. Low and behold, this set, "Pirate Radio" was everything I hoped for and more. It's PERFECT and "Precious" indeed, a set of such high-quality and a standard-setter for all boxsets in the future, those that are overviews as opposed to all their albums in a box, which I kinda hope happens to the Pretenders catalogue.

Musically, this box has the goods, really it does. It shows how important and exciting the original band was, and how much of a trailblazer Chrissie Hynde was, and continues to be, for not just female artists, but ALL artists!!! The band's music sounds as fresh today as it did all those years ago, and it still has both teeth and heart/soul. I love how their music has the freshness and immediacy of the best punkrock + new wave from that era, but also chops that rival the best classic rockers as well as killer pop instincts that lured mainstream fans and top 40 radio programmers, yet never lost sight of their punk roots, keeping their integrity and never losing it, fearing too much commercial success would endanger them. Not many bands treaded this balance as deftly, incorporating a slight dose of commerciality without crossing the line. The only other new wave/punk-rooted bands I can think of that did this well are the Bangles, Cheap Trick and Divinyls.

I love how "Pirate Radio" represents all eras equally, and throwing in a nice array of odds 'n' sods. Concurring what some other reviewers say who don't like this, I think, besides their "standards", it's cool to spotlight some overlooked gems and underrated records. No, their last coupla records, 2003's "Loose Screw" and 1999's "Viva El Amor", are not as perfect and important as their first 3 albums, but they are still good and have some tunes some people will not know about, so this box will open up some fans' eyes. I love how Chrissie incorporates reggae elements on "Loose Screw" like the punk rocker that she still is, and she covers that Divinyls song "Human On The Inside" on "Viva El Amor", plus the unreleased live tracks from 2003 are really cool and have bite...love her between song banter too.

The DVD is very welcome, on top of the music on the other 4 CDs.

I would say, this set is tops; next what we need are remastered/expanded versions of the catalogue. 2007 perhaps???

Pirate Radio (Bonus Dvd) Poster

On "Brass in Pocket," one of the pretenders earliest singles-and their first to chart in the U.S., scoring #14 in Billboard-Chrissie Hynde sings, "I'm special, so special, I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me." Formed in London in '78 with Hynde, James Honeyman Scott, Martin Chambers, and Pete Farndon, the band received massive attention for that hit and other stellar songs from their 1980 self-titled debut album. Via impeccable musicianship and Hynde's charismatic persona-equal parts cool swagger, tough-but vulnerable lyrics and vocals, and idiosyncratic rhythm guitar-the Pretenders reinvented the concept of a woman in rock 'n' roll and became one of the most popular and distinctive acts in the world. Chrissie Hynde's singular presence has never ceased to build on their artistic legacy, chronicled now for the first time in Pirate Radio.
Holding the Pretenders' Pirate Radio box set in your hand, you may be tempted to ask: What took you so long? Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005, the Pretenders' impact on popular music goes without saying, and for a quarter century Chrissie Hynde has remained one of the smartest, sassiest, sexiest, and shaggiest women in rock. So this in-depth collection seems, if not overdue, at least a long time in coming.

At 81 tracks, Pirate Radio will satisfy die-hard fans with more fully remastered big hits and deep cuts than the earlier Singles and Greatest Hits compilations, as well as some previously unreleased gems--covers of "Angel of the Morning" and Warren Zevon's "Reconsider Me" are both standouts. The career-spanning live DVD is also a treat, with many performances featuring the original lineup. Add in a 60-page booklet jammed with chronological liner notes and reflections from band members, and you've got a powerful package. What's striking is how coherent this set sounds throughout all four discs, largely due to Hynde's unmistakable voice: From the punk swagger of their immortal 1979 debut to the reggae-informed sounds of 2003's Loose Screw, and after more personnel changes than Spinal Tap's percussion section, it all sounds like no one other than the Pretenders. --Ben Heege
