Extended Play is a 1981 EP released by new wave band The Pretenders. “Message of Love” and “Talk of the Town” featured on this EP were also included on their second album Pretenders II released later the same year. “Porcelain” and “Cuban Slide”, outtakes from their Pretenders debut album, were included on disc two of the 2006 and 2021 remastered editions of their debut album and on the Pirate Radio box set. The live version of “Precious” on this EP, recorded at their New York Central Park performance on 30 August 1980, was finally released on CD on November 5, 2021. The booklet for disc one of the Pretenders debut album from the 2015 UK Edsel/Rhino Records box set 1979–1999 incorrectly states “Precious” (track 17) is from that Central Park performance. Instead, the box set version is from their Boston performance of 23 March 1980; it is also included on disc two of the 2006 remastered edition of Pretenders.
