==Recording== ''Get the Knack'' was recorded in just two weeks at a cost of only $18,000, an extremely quick and inexpensive recording at a time when many established artists were spending months and several hundred thousand dollars to record an album. The album was produced by [[Mike Chapman]], who had written hits for [[The Sweet|Sweet]] in the early 1970s and most recently produced [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]]'s breakout album ''[[Parallel Lines]]''.<ref>{{cite magazine|last=McCullaugh|first=Jim|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=7iMEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PT65|title=Knack Rides Charts with $18,000 Album|magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]|volume=91|issue=31|date=August 4, 1979|accessdate=November 3, 2020|page=62}}</ref>
