Selected Knack Tracks
 


(amazon.com)

 

 Reality Bites
  1. My Sharona
Note:  This 1994 release features "My Sharona" as the lead track and first single release from the record.  Though "My Sharona" was originally produced by Mike Chapman the "Reality Bites" soundtrack was produced by Ron Fair and "My Sharona" was remixed by Dave Jerden.  This mix appears to be hotter than the original with Berton's guitar more upfront and additional echo added to to the sampled drum sounds.   Doug's intentional breathing during the final bars of the original mix are conspicuously absent here.  An edited version of this mix was made available for radio but not included on the soundtrack.

 

Also available through Not Lame Records

 Come And Get It:  A Tribute To Badfinger
  1. No Matter What
Note:  The Knack used to open their live shows with their version of the hit single "No Matter What" from Badfinger's album "No Dice".  In fact, the band knew the song so well that they were able to record it in a single take.  This track is the first to be recorded with original Knack drummer Bruce Gary since he left the band after the 1981 release of "Round Trip".   "No Matter What" received favorable radio airplay in selected markets.
