Interesting retrospective3
Made in USA in 1999, Serial# 72435-20581-2-9, Playing Time 35:18

This CD is part of EMI's "10 Best Series", which consists of putting what the record company deems to be the 10 best tracks from the artist.

This compilation features tracks up to their 3rd album, "Round Trip", plus 1 song (Don't Look Back) left in the vaults until the "Retrospective" album issued back in 1992.

THE KNACK, mostly known for "My Sharona", make basic but catchy music; I'd call it "Fun Rock": straight ahead, unpretentious melodies, that make you want to "get up and dance". The sad part is that the CD only lasts 35 minutes, their writing style consisting of 3-minute songs.

If you've got other retrospectives, you'll probably pass up on this; but if you don't, it's a good place to get exposed to their songwriting skills.

Great place to visit...4
If you want to have one Knack collection and don't want to spend a lot, this is a very good retrospective. Of course, "My Sharona" and "Good Girls Don't" are here, along with a few neglected classics ("You're Number or Your Name") and some harder to find songs such as the Springsteen penned "Don't Look Back". If you want just one album by this band, then it really should be "Get the Knack", but this is the best of the three or four career retrospectives.
