Jo plays her first track from this week’s Vinyl Revival - The Pretender’s self titled debut. There’s also new music from across the musical spectrum and quality vintage songs too.
Founded the previous year by Chrissie Hynde, James Honeyman-Scott, Peter Farndon and Martin Chambers, The Pretenders released their self-titled debut album in 1979. Including hits such as Kid, Brass In Pocket and Stop Your Sobbing, the album spent 4 weeks at the top of the UK chart, and rocketed the band to success.
45 years after they first formed, The Pretenders’ 12th album Relentless is due out this month, and the band will also appear at Radio 2 in The Park.
This week, Jo will be picking tracks from the record that started it all. Send your favourite songs and memories to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk.
