Popis - LEARNING TO CRAWL -HQ- [VINYL]:
What is the sound of a fledgling band dealing with multiple tragedies, coming to terms with drastic changes, digging deep into its consciousness, finding resolution in hurt, and overcoming staggering odds to record a bonafide masterwork? Every note that graces the Pretenders Learning to Crawl. Still recognized as one of the most emotionally gripping and musically gutsy performances ever made, the smash 1984 album hasnt aged a day. And now, it sounds better than could ever be imagined. Mastered from the original master tapes, Learning to Crawl finally possesses the combination of whisper-in-yourear intimacy and nerve-checking toughness that its always demanded. Leader Chrissie Hynde's voice is made viscerally apparent, wavering between vigorous determination and solemn reflection. To say nothing of how fresh the efforts hit singles ("Middle of the Road," "Back on the Chain Gang") and incredible deep cuts sound. Learning to Crawl contains signs of the bands early, street-wise rawness but also adds new wrinkles, with more streamlined melodies, sensitive ballads, and reflective tones. Whether youve grown up with this album, heard it in college, or are just learning about it now, Mobile Fidelity's pristinely mastered 180g LP is the only edition worth owning. Hear Hynde and Co.s cathartic, uplifting effort in its full splendor, and, like the Pretenders, refuse to settle for less.
