Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Multiple issues Шаблон:Infobox album Шаблон:Music ratings Common Knowledge.com (stylised as common knowledge.com) is the fourth studio album by Wax released in 1998. It combines an unreleased album dating back to 1984 with several new tracks.

Overview

The core of the album consist of the material recorded by Andrew Gold and Graham Gouldman around 1984.[1] The sessions originally spawned two singles under the name Common Knowledge, "Don't Break My Heart" and "Victoria".[2] While the singles failed to get any attention the album was shelved and Gold and Gouldman started anew under the name Wax, which resulted in their debut Magnetic Heaven.

The Common Knowledge tracks remained untouched until 1996 when Andrew Gold re-recorded a solo version of "The King of Showbiz" for his album ...Since 1951.[2]

In 1997 additional original tracks were released: "Holiday" and "One More Heartache" were included on the compilation album The Wax Files, while "The King of Showbiz" was featured on Andrew Gold’s Greetings From Planet Love (released under the name The Fraternal Order of the All).[2]

The original album was finally released in full in 1998 along with three new tracks: "Shanghai Moon", written and recorded in collaboration with Stephen Bishop, "Sometimes" and "First Time In Love",[1] the latter taken from Gold’s ...Since 1951.[2]

The digital edition of the album also features 5 of the 6 new Wax tracks released on The Wax Files (with the absence of “Same Boat Now”) and a live version of "Thank You for Being a Friend",[3][4] originally the b-side to "Anchors Aweigh" single and also from The Wax Files.[2]
