Year/Genre: 1983, New Wave
Matrix #: 249564-0 / ARE 20T
Condition: Near Mint

Description: Released in the UK in late 1983, “2000 Miles” became the Pretenders’ most enduring holiday single, though its origins were rooted in loss rather than celebration. Written by Chrissie Hynde in London, the song was widely understood as a tribute to guitarist James Honeyman-Scott, who had died the previous year at age 25. Its seasonal association grew over time, but the track began as a personal elegy within the shifting landscape of the early 1980s new wave scene.
