The Pretenders were two down, two left standing by 1984. Chrissie drafted in Robby McIntosh, a fine guitarist (Though James Honeyman Scott of course was quite irreplaceable) and they held their own with Learning To Crawl. Lots of backs to the wall guitar duelling.
It doesn't hold together as well as it might, but it's plenty enjoyable. Two fine singles, including a wonderful Christmas one. A neat cover of Thin Line Between Love & Hate and Middle of The Road which is passable. They were doing well to survive,
