Get The Knack
Used - LP - SO-11948
1979 US original LA pressing with custom inner sleeve. Jacket EX/NM-. Mastered by Steve Hall. "The Knack attempted to update the Beatles sound for the new wave era on their debut -- a good idea that was well executed, but critics cried "foul" when millions sold after Capitol's pre-release hype (it went gold in 13 days and eventually sold five million copies, making it one of the most successful debuts in history). Get the Knack is at once sleazy, sexist, hook-filled, and endlessly catchy -- above all, it's a guilty pleasure and an exercise in simple fun. When is power pop legitimate anyway? Includes the unforgettable hits "My Sharona" and "Good Girls Don't"." All Music Guide - Chris Woodstra.

Get The Knack
Used - LP - SO-11948
1979 Original with inner sleeve. 5 Stars In All Music Guide. Who doesn't need a clean copy of this 80's icon power pop band? This debut album features a blend of power pop and new wave styles, characterized by catchy melodies and straightforward rock instrumentation. It was produced by Mike Chapman, known for his work with Blondie and Sweet, and it quickly gained commercial success. The album's lead single, "My Sharona," became a defining hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and staying there for six weeks.
The success of "Get The Knack" was meteoric, with the album itself reaching number one on the Billboard 200 chart. It was praised for its infectious energy and raw, youthful exuberance, reminiscent of the British Invasion sound. Other notable tracks include "Good Girls Don't" and "Frustrated," which showcase the band's knack for crafting hook-laden rock songs. Despite its initial popularity, the album also faced criticism for its perceived misogynistic lyrics and the band's calculated image. Nonetheless, "Get The Knack" remains a significant entry in the late-70s rock landscape, capturing the spirit of its era.

Round Trip
New - LP - ST 12168
Sealed 1981 Embossed Jacket Original With Custom Sticker On Shrink. Clean COH. “It Must Suck To Be The Knack. First Off, There Was The Huge Unexpected Success Of Their Debut Album, Get The Knack, Followed Almost Immediately By The Equally Unexpected Career-Damaging "Knuke The Knack" Underground Campaign. If That Wasn't Bad Enough, Their Superior Sophomore Release, ...But The Little Girls Understand, Was Universally And Unfairly Dismissed As An Inferior Rehash Of The Debut. After Such A Tumultuous Two-Year Roller Coaster Ride, The Boys In The Knack Took A Well-Deserved Breather. When Their Third Album, Round Trip, Emerged In 1981, Doug Fieger And The Boys In The Knack Had Matured Ten-Fold And Had Created Their Best Album To Date. Produced By Jack Douglas, Round Trip Had More Musical Layers Than Any Knack Album Before (Or Since). "Just Wait And See," "Radiating Love," "Boys Go Crazy," And "She Likes The Beat" Were Instant Knack Classics, But With More Skin And Bone. "Lil' Cal's Big Mistake" Could've Been An Unreleased Blood, Sweat & Tears Track. "Africa" Was Weather Report On Pop-Flavored Steroids. "We Are Waiting" And "Sweet Dreams" Sound Like Outtakes From The Last John Lennon Sessions (Douglas Produced Double Fantasy). Two Of The Knack's Best Tracks Are Here, And Both Are Worth The Price Of Admission Alone. "Pay The Devil (Ooo, Baby, Ooo)" Is A Beautifully Haunting Ballad While "Another Lousy Day In Paradise" Is The Knack's Entire Musical Essence Squeezed Into One Three-Minute Pop Song. Brilliant. A Few Weeks After This Brilliant Album Was Released (To Poor Reviews, It Should Be Said), The Knack Split Up. While They Were At Their Creative High, They Were At Their Commercial And Critical Low. Again, It Must Suck To Be The Knack.” - Steve "Spaz" Schnee, All Music Guide
