==Re-issues==
When the album was initially released on CD in 1989,<ref>{{cite web|title=CD Album - The Knack - ''Get The Knack'' - Capitol - USA|publisher=45worlds|url=http://www.45worlds.com/cdalbum/cd/cdp7918482|accessdate=April 25, 2017}}</ref> the song "(She's So) Selfish" had vocals different from the original release, with lyrics like "coming from the [[Methaqualone|quaalude]] scene" changed to "...lame'o scene". Capitol Records used a censored, alternate version of the track which was requested in certain countries.

The album was re-issued on CD in 2002 as a remastered version true to the original vinyl release. This version included bonus demos of "My Sharona" and "That's What the Little Girls Do", as well as a rehearsal take of "Maybe Tonight". It also included a cover of [[Bruce Springsteen]]'s ''[[Darkness on the Edge of Town]]'' outtake "Don't Look Back", which the Knack recorded in 1979 but was left off the ''Get the Knack'' LP, and a cover of [[Nick Lowe]]'s "[[I Knew the Bride]]".<ref>{{cite web|last=Woodstra|first=Chris|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/release/get-the-knack-bonus-tracks-mr0000763450|title=Get the Knack [Bonus Tracks] – The Knack|publisher=[[AllMusic]]|accessdate=November 3, 2020}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Guterman|first=Jimmy|title=Runaway American Dream: Listening to Bruce Springsteen|publisher=[[Da Capo Press]]|year=2005|isbn=978-0-306-81397-9|pages=[https://archive.org/details/runawayamericand00gute/page/109 109–110]}}</ref><ref name="Borack">{{cite book|last=Borack|first=John M.|author-link=John M.

Unlike the previous remaster, the 2011 release contains no dynamic range compression.

In April 2017, [[Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab]] released an audiophile version of the album on [[Super Audio CD#Technology|hybrid SACD]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.musicdirect.com/optical-disc/the-knack-get-the-knack-strictly-limited-to-2000-numbered-edition-hybrid-sacd|title=The Knack – Get The Knack (Numbered Hybrid SACD)|publisher=Music Direct|accessdate=April 25, 2017}}</ref> This release, like the 2002 Capitol and 2011 Iconoclassic versions, utilizes the original, un-censored mixes.
