The record


Title: The Pretenders - Learning To Crawl
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1984, Alternative, New Wave, Hereford, England 6/26
Matrix #: 9 23980-1
Condition: VG+, sounds great, looks good, some light marks (CC) | Members: Chrissie H (51' - Alive), Martin C (51' - Alive), Robbie M (57' - Alive), Malcolm F (56' - Alive)
Cultural Facts:

  1. Personal Struggle: Chrissie Hynde made this after James Honeyman-Scott died in 1982 and Pete Farndon died in 1983, both drug-related losses that gutted the original band.
  2. Band Drama: Farndon had been fired days before Honeyman-Scott’s death, so the album was not just a comeback, it was a rebuild from grief, guilt, and broken trust.
  3. Studio Lore: The title came from Hynde’s baby daughter learning to crawl, placing new motherhood directly beside a band trying to stand back up.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
