It's the sound of 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 hasn't aged a day. And now, it sounds better than could ever be imagined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the original master tapes for this reissue, Learning to Crawl finally possesses the combination of whisper-in-your-ear intimacy and nerve-checking toughness that it's always demanded on Mobile Fidelity's super-quiet LP. Leader Chrissie Hynde's voice is made viscerally apparent, wavering between vigorous determination and solemn reflection, while drummer Martin Chamber's punchy backbeats register with requisite punch. To say nothing of how fresh the effort's hit singles (\"Middle of the Road,\" \"Back on the Chain Gang\") and incredible deep cuts sound \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMiddle of the Road\u003cbr\u003eBack on the Chain Gang\u003cbr\u003eTime the Avenger\u003cbr\u003eWatching the Clothes\u003cbr\u003eShow Me\u003cbr\u003eThumbelina\u003cbr\u003eMy City Was Gone\u003cbr\u003eThin Line Between Love and Hate\u003cbr\u003eI Hurt You\u003cbr\u003e2000 Miles\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music Direct","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47515796799671,"sku":null,"price":39.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/2555\/4103\/files\/d1_ab829084-9a0c-4f8e-9b07-f2f4433a5a59.jpg?v=1776022156","url":"https:\/\/skyvalleyrecords.com\/products\/the-pretenders-learning-to-crawl-180g-33rpm-lp","provider":"Sky Valley Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
