Isle Of View - Pretenders

Isle Of View - Pretenders

Digitally remastered and expanded two disc (CD + NTSC/Region 0 DVD) edition of this classic album from Chrissie Hynde and Co. Includes bonus tracks plus a DVD. In May 1995, Chrissie Hynde and then-current Pretenders line-up convened with the Duke Quartet at Jacob Street Studios in London to record and film a whole concert of acoustic versions of favorite Pretenders songs, rearranged to feature the string quartet. Special guest Damon Albarn plays piano on a beautiful version of "I Go to Sleep". The four bonus tracks feature songs from the same concert recording not on the original CD, including a version of Radiohead's "Creep". The DVD features the full eighteen-song tracklisting only previously issued on the US laserdisc edition. The song "Blue Sun" does not appear on any other Pretenders release. The BBC appearances are different performances with the strings on Top of the Pops and Pebble Mill.
