Dear Chrissie,
If you would have dropped 80 to 100 K off the low end in the mastering process and used a little less compression on the bass on track three in the intro, plus the convolution reverb used on the backing vocals on tracks 6 and 9 needed a liitle less plate and more room sound. Also, I found that the vintage tele sound didn't really give the bridge on track 2 the alt/country/reggae/rock twist I think you were looking for.

P.S. ……….Your veal sandwhich is KILLER!

Dear Chrissie;

Checked out your new title-track tune all the way through.

'Would have been so much better somewhat slower and
without forcing the lyrics so much. Also, it lacked the
vintage Pretenders sound, presence, and drive like when
you pulled out all the stops in, "Mystery Achievement".

P.S. "Chinese Plastic Boots" would have been a more succinct
and to-the-point title. (I DO mean well, Dear. Can you tell?)

The Pretenders. Boy, you're not kidding. Yet another Hynde solo album, but she still feels commercially compelled to dredge up the name Pretenders. Talk about a pretender.
