Hats off to the PumpkinMan! Took forever but I got around to it. Real music sung by a real woman with real people playing real instruments. No filler, no AutoTune. Refreshing to say the least.

And a highly listenable copy to boot.

Paul I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I'll keep a look out for a copy of Suicide Sal for you.
Hard as it is to admit I don't have an extra copy of that

Bside, my, you do have impeccable tastes. And, you know what they say about great minds? Same thing. I think this album rules the genre of the 80's. It has close competition cause the 80's produced some highly original stuff, particularly from the east, but it gets my nod. Saw the band for $2.00 at a club in North Dallas on their first US tour. Loved it.

I agree, I was in love with Chrissie Hynde when I was in high school. I saw them in concert at the Argon "Brawl" Room in Chicago . . . if my memory serves me we paid more than $2, more like $10 ... Precious

Thanks for the trip down memory lane

Jim & Jlappy,
I also agree with you both on the Pretenders and "great minds." I saw the group on their second tour, as they were promoting their second album, at the outdoor, Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado. Great show, and I paid more than $2.00.

I have generally felt that the '80s had slimmer musical pickings than the several decades before, but there are definitely musical offerings that stood out and shined forth. I also feel that the Pretenders' first couple of albums were exemplary of a certain genre (was just tellin' me ol' lady that while I was spinning the disc), are essential to have in a collection, made a statement, was great music, and because of Chrissie Hind's persona, forwarded women in general, vis a vis "it's a thin line."

PS. BTW, when it comes to great minds, I use "Diffractionbegone" products!

I'm pretty sure I saw the Pretenders back in the day. But I'm not positive. That's pretty bad, isn't it?

Hammersmith

The heavy metal/rock group Hammersmith formed in the early '70s, members coming together from the death of other groups like Painter and Shades of Blond. Hammersmith's lineup included lead singer Dorn Beattie, bassist Royden Morice, guitarist Dan Lowe, drummer Bob Ego, and a confusing mixture of other artists, who might or might not have been official members.

Hammersmith recorded its self-titled debut album in 1974 and released it under the Mercury Records label. Two years later there was a sophomore recording, It's for You. That second album was the last for Hammersmith as in 1977 the band lost its contract with Mercury. The loss proved to be a catastrophic blow for the gathering. After the formal disbanding, most of the members stayed in the music world, simply moving on to other groups.
