The Knack - Time Waits for No One
Ever overshadowed by the 80's new wavers with their catchy tales of Sharona, this incarnation of The Knack was making a jangly mix of Beatles-flecked pop in late 60's London long before those boys ever picked up their guitars. The
band was never a hitmaker but there's a fair amount of great material collected in this retrospective. Wrapping up their debut single, I'm Aware"/"Time Waits for No One," along with the rest of their output, including a touching ode to actress Barbara Hershey (who was dating songwriter Michael Chain at the time) and a few outtakes that break down some good riffs. Now Sounds, ever the strident archivists put together a hell of a reissue that spotlights the band's much overlooked catalog, raising themselves up alongside other British janglers of the time like Herman's Hermits or The Beau Brummels.
