Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England, in March 1978. They emerged from the British post punk movement and have since evolved into a mainly four-piece outfit with Chrissie Hynde as the only consistent member. The band has experienced numerous personnel changes over the years, but original member Martin Chambers returned after an absence of several years.
The current members of Pretenders (2017) include Chrissie Hynde on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Martin Chambers on drums and percussion with backing vocals, Nick Wilkinson on bass with backing vocals, James Walbourne on lead guitar with backing vocals, and Eric Heywood on pedal steel guitar with backing vocals.
Pretenders' notable ex-members include Pete Farndon and Robbie McIntosh among others. In recognition of their contributions to music, Pretenders were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2005 as performers.

Rhino Records, also known as Rhino, is a renowned music label that was established in 1973 by Richard Foos. Starting as a record store in Westwood California, Rhino quickly gained recognition with its first successful release "Go To Rhino Records" by Wild Man Fischer in 1975. The label's early logo featured "Rocky the Rhino" and focused on novelty, surf, local new wave bands, and reissues of out-of-print records from other labels.

Under the guidance of Bill Inglot for production, Ken Perry for mastering, and A&R team Gary Stewart and James Austin, Rhino expanded its catalog to include a wide range of reissues by the mid-1980s. The label underwent a logo redesign during this time period to simply "Rhino". In 1984, Rhino released its first CD and became known for manufacturing high-quality CDs made by Sanyo (1984-85) and various manufacturers from Japan or Switzerland thereafter.

In 1985, Rhino entered into a distribution deal with Capitol Records which lasted until 1992. This partnership allowed access to Capitol's back catalog and led to the release of reissues of old Capitol albums. Additionally, EMI and Rhino acquired the Roulette family of labels in 1989. As their deal with Capitol came to an end in 1992, Time-Warner offered an opportunity for growth. Half of the label was sold to Time-Warner
