Britsko-americká rocková skupina Pretenders byla založena v roce 1978. Iniciátorkou vzniku kapely byla zpěvačka a skladatelka Chrissie Hynde. V osmdesátých letech hned dva z původních čtyř členů Pretenders zemřeli v důsledku požití drog, i proto se sestava souboru několikrát obměnila. V kapele působil například též kytarista Johnny Marr z manchesterských The Smiths. Stylově se tvorba Pretenders dotýká rocku, punk rocku nebo new wave.
Rozšířená reedice druhého alba Pretenders, kterou sestavila sama Chrissie Hynde. 3CD box obsahuje kromě původní nahrávky i nejrůznější demo verze a živé záznamy. Připomeňme, že debut Pretenders pochází z roku 1981.
