KnoxTraxFine" is a sort of "Compilation-Sampler", that means, that most
of the Songs were released on various Compilations between 1987-2004. Released seven years after Chris Knox’s life-altering stroke, this
cassette is the next best thing to a new double album from the former
frontman of NZ’s early and seminal punk icons The Enemy and Toy Love and
one half of guitar duo Tall Dwarfs. KnoxTraxFine brings together compilation, limited cassette, b-side and
other tracks including a wedding version of his 1989 hit Not Given
Lightly or inspired cover versions of songs by Abba, The Great Unwashed,
Alec Bathgate, The Fall – whose 1982 NZ tour Knox recorded for Flying
Nun – and John Lennon and The Beatles, whom he admires greatly. This cassette is a must-have even for those who have a wide selection of
Chris Knox and Tall Dwarfs records in their collections. Noisy and
deeply moving, profound and witty, these 22 songs hold quite a few
surprises, just as their multi-talented author has always been full of
them.
