Quartet Records proudly presents:
THE KNACK ... AND HOW TO GET IT
Music Composed and Conducted by John Barry.

Long awaited new edition of a true classic by John Barry and one of his most influential works in the sixties.

Previously released on CD by Ryko in 1998 and out-of-print for many years, our edition has been mastered with a very improved sound based on a new and fresh transfer from the original stereo tape. Deluxe booklet includes 24 pages with lots of stills and new liner notes by Geoff Leonard and Pete Walker.

Limited edition of 1000 units.
We understand that strong early sales of "The Knack" means there are now only 200 copies left. Order now to avoid disappointment!
Order from 25th March via http://www.quartetrecords.com/

Future Legends Records has an interesting back-catalogue of alternate versions of many cult TV and film themes, so this might be worth checking out.
