The Pretenders - Get Out of London - Non-Album Tracks (1999-2002)

Here's the next stray tracks album from the Pretenders. Technically, a bunch of songs are credited to Chrissie Hynde, but it doesn't matter because by this point the Pretenders were just Hynde plus a bunch of back-up musicians. So I interchangeably mix her "band" and "solo" tracks.

All but one of the songs on this album are officially unreleased. They come from a variety of sources, mostly soundtracks and tribute albums. The one unreleased song, a cover of "The Loner" by Neil Young, comes from a concert bootleg. Admittedly, its sound quality is a little worse. But it's still good enough to include.

By the way, I especially like the song "Get Out of London." It's super rare. I was lucky to find a version of it on YouTube, because I couldn't find it anywhere else. If you're a Pretenders fan, you should check this out for that song alone.

01 Waiting in Vain (Chrissie Hynde)
02 The Needle and the Damage Done (Pretenders)
03 Loving You Is All I Know (Pretenders)
04 I Wish You Love (Chrissie Hynde)

07 Nebraska (Chrissie Hynde)
08 Mystery Train (Jeff Beck & Chrissie Hynde)
09 Bless You (Pretenders)
10 Out of This World (Chrissie Hynde & Jools Holland)

    Nice set. The covers Mystery Train and Waiting In Vain are worth the download alone.

    Thanks for this. "GOOL" was from the Wild Thornberries soundtrack. "IWYL" was on "Loose Screw" Pretenders album and she covered the French original version by Charles Trenet on her "Valve Bone Woe" album wihtout the Pretenders. "Nebraska" was Chrissie Hynde and Adam Seymour.

    I started something like this long before the remasters bonus tracks came out, and end ended up neing like 10 80 min cds with everything from The Wait (Single verions) to missed b-sides like Not A Second Time, to soundtrack only like Where has everybody gone, and another 6 CD's of with friends, like My City Was Gone (with Kool Jeith), to Candy (with Iggy Pop) to Breakfast in Bed and Spititual High! It's mind boggling how much Pretenders have done, that has not been put together in compilations...and they should! We all need...Something To Believe in! Bless You!
