The Knack's debut album is mostly ed for the smash-hit single 'My Sharona.' The last song on Side One, 'Good Girls Don't,' also charted as high as #15. So while The Knack mostly disappeared after their debut they are not in fact a one-hit wonder. Both songs are fun and tight, and it's a shame that they are pretty much the only Knack songs that have entered the public's consciousness because the rest of the album is equally catchy. 'Your Number or Your Name,' possibly the best song on the album, is all about unrequited ion and the fantasies that can follow from a missed connection. It's just one song that falls neatly into the overall romantic theme of the album, which is imagining The Knack as lovesick losers. Too often the 'victim of love' attitude veers right into straight-up misogyny which is unfortunate, because this is one of the better power pop albums ever made.

This pressing is very good, no complaints.
