Year: 1980 Style: Powerpop Country: UK Format: LP Label: Not Real Records (006)
Tracks: The Wait / Stop Your Sobbing / Kid / Cuban Slide / Brass In Pocket / Mystery Achievement / The Wait / Talk Of The Town / Cuban Slide / Swinging London / Nervous But Shy / The Castaways Liar, Liar
Note: "Talk Of The Town" claims to be a promo and goes on to list the label as Not Real Records (at the time, the Pretenders' UK label was Real Records) and contains a soundboard recording taken from the 1979 BBC Radio 1 show at the Paris Theatre in London, aired in 1980.
Also included here are some extras : "The Wait" (the UK "Stop Your Sobbing" b-side produced by Nick Lowe, "Talk Of The Town" (UK version), "Cuban Slide" (the flip of the UK release of "Talk Of The Town"), "Swinging London", and "Nervous But Shy" (both the instrumental b-sides of the UK release of "Brass In Pocket").
The Pretenders' performance at Paris Theatre is very enjoyable and good sounding. All the b-sides have since been remastered and reissued on CD. Talk Of The Town's one quirk is the uncredited inclusion of The Castaways' "Liar, Liar" as the last track.
