Pirate Radio is a career-spanning box set compilation album by The Pretenders.^[2] Released on 14 March 2006, it contains songs from 1979 to 2005, from hit singles, popular album tracks, non-album recordings, soundtrack contributions, live tracks, as well as previously unreleased material. The box set comes in four CDs along with a DVD of selected live performances from 1979 to 1995. A 60-page booklet and a poster is also included.

Track listing

All tracks are written by Chrissie Hynde, except where noted.

Note

• Despite the box set stating the video of "Room Full of Mirrors" is from the band's live performance at the 2003 Montreux Jazz Festival,^[3] it is actually the music video for the song. Meaning that the live performances on the DVD go up to 1995, not 2003, as stated on the box set.
