Another situation like when I moved The Velvet Underground to The Velvet Underground Album, and Ramones to Ramones Album; there's got to be consistency in this regard

''Pretenders'' is the first studio album by Music/ThePretenders. Released within the first breaths of 1980, the album often considered one of the foundation bricks of AlternativeRock and {{New Wave|Music}} as we know it.
The album was recorded in 1979, with the first track recorded being their cover of Music/TheKinks' "Stop Your Sobbing". However, the original producer, Music/NickLowe, found them hard to work with and quit production early on, so they replaced him with Chris Thomas, who stayed throughout the rest of the production. The band recorded 18 tracks for the album, of which four were released as non-album singles, and two were released as B-sides to "Brass in Pocket."
