Jo plays her first track from this week鈥檚 Vinyl Revival - The Pretender鈥檚 self titled debut. There鈥檚 also new music from across the musical spectrum and quality vintage songs too.

Founded the previous year by Chrissie Hynde, James Honeyman-Scott, Peter Farndon and Martin Chambers, The Pretenders released their self-titled debut album in 1979. Including hits such as Kid, Brass In Pocket and Stop Your Sobbing, the album spent 4 weeks at the top of the UK chart, and rocketed the band to success.

45 years after they first formed, The Pretenders鈥� 12th album Relentless is due out this month, and the band will also appear at Radio 2 in The Park.

This week, Jo will be picking tracks from the record that started it all. Send your favourite songs and memories to jo.whiley@bbc.co.uk.
