The fourth album by the Pretenders was released in 1986 and was titled 'Get close'. The first single taken from that album was 'Don't get me wrong', an up-tempo pop/rock track with a music video that looked like a tribute to the TV series 'The Avengers'.The second single was 'Hymn to her', a ballad that was popularly interpreted as a hymn to the Goddess. The single peaked at number 8 in the UK and only managed a number 35 placing in the Dutch Top 40.
My collection: 7" single no. 1251
Found: Parkpop, Den Haag, June 24, 1990
Cost: 2 guilders
Tracks: 'Hymn to her' / 'Room full of mirrors'
The tune of HYMN TO HER stayed in my mind for a long time after its release in 1986. It is just plain beautiful to ignore. I bought the greatest hits just for this song, but of course, I found the other gems in it too.
