The Pretenders - Both Sides of Goodbye - Non-Album Tracks (2005-2008)

It's been a long time since I've posted the last Pretenders stray tracks album, so here's another one. Of course, by this time "the Pretenders" has basically become lead singer and songwriter Chrissie Hynde, plus whoever else she felt like playing with (though at least original drummer Martin Chambers was in the band during this time period). About half the songs here are credited to the Pretenders and the other half just to Hynde, but it doesn't really make a difference.

The Pretenders put out albums in 2002 and 2008. That was a fairly long time, but as you can see here, Hynde continued to put out songs during that time, with or without the Pretenders. Only three of the songs are officially unreleased: "Candy, "Only Happy When It Rains," and "Waterloo Sunset." Those three are taken from TV show broadcasts, not concert bootlegs, so their sound quality is very good. The rest of the songs come from a wide variety of sources, including singles, an EP, various artists compilations, and movie soundtracks.

This album is 42 minutes long.

Oh, by the way, the same day I posted this, I added three more songs to the Pretenders stray tracks album "Spiritual High." So you might want to check that out too. Here's the link:
