His own band has just finished playing and-thank god - they didn’t fuck up too badly. It was one of the happiest moments of my life,” Blake recalls in The Pretenders: Chrissie Hynde and the Mystery Achievement.

“To say this made me happy would be something of an understatement. (I only realized it was you after Dave (manager) sold you a copy of the single.) I felt like a prick.ĭo you want to support us at The Marquee 22 or 23? Let Dave Hill or myself know.

Wow-your letter makes me want to stay in this completely fucked up business. Three singles, and a note written on the record company’s letterhead. Mortified, relieved, Blake beat it out of there.īut a few days later, a package arrived. The manager reached into an open box and handed Blake the single. I’ll pay for it,” Blake said, pulling a crumpled pound note from his pocket. “What, are we supposed to just give you one?” Hill asked. “I was just hoping to get a copy of the new single.” He could see boxes of them stacked all around. “I’m so sorry to bother you,” he said sheepishly. The whole band was upstairs in the middle of a meeting with their manager, Dave Hill.Įveryone stared as Blake stammered through his request. When he rang the bell at Real Records, not only was it answered-it was answered by Hynde herself. But as we all know, the music gods are quick to indulge smitten teenagers. He’d got it into his head that if he went to their record company in Covent Garden, he might be able to buy a copy before it hit the shops. By the time their third single, “Brass In Pocket,” was due for release, Blake couldn’t wait. He’d bought their first single, and their second, and then sent Hynde a gushing fan letter asking if there were any chance his band might open for them again. Long before he became a rock journalist, Blake was eighteen and slightly obsessed. It bruised, and once heard, it stayed with you.”

Out front, Chrissie was having problems with the monitors but you could hear this strange vibrato in her voice, this keening sound. 'The bass and drums thumped and rumbled…it was a powerful sound, not like the neurotic trebly noise of punk at all. Since then, he’s gone to every show they’ve played during their month-long residency here. He met Hynde when his band opened for hers a few months before, and he can’t get her voice out of his mind. Adam Blake is lingering on the sidelines, happy just to be here.

On this November night in 1979, The Marquee on Wardour Street is packed-the Pretenders have outgrown the venue and the place is wall-to-wall leathered punks, sweaty fans, drunk onlookers. The lights dim as her fingerless lace gloves grab the mic. All Rights Reserved.“You ready, girls?” Chrissie Hynde calls out as she takes the stage.
