  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The black vinyl is ‘new old stock’ pressed in 1986. The covers are handmade (starting in 2016 and running through today), with color photos glued to a one-color printed black LP jacket. I hand-wrote the album title and signed.

    Please note this important disclaimer: Due to the age of the unplayed vinyl, there is some warping. If you are opposed to any warpage on your LPs, please do not purchase this item. I asked the most exacting Blacktape vinyl customer to review a copy. He writes: “True, I like to have a ‘perfect’ record, but still this plays out and the warping issue is not audible. The only way to know it’s warped is to look at it. The warp on mine is not a bother to me. Others might have issues with it, of course. When I replayed my copy with a record weight it was flat warp free.”

    Also keep in mind the vinyl has been in storage for 30 years, so the album will need a wet cleaning to remove dust and such.

lyrics

walkawalk away from you, i tried to hide, i never learned from you.
you smiled and called and led me on, and told me things that i could never see.
look at me standing here, i’m all alone, you only laugh at me.
i looked for answers, thought them you, you held out your hand and slammed it in my face.

one day i’ll find myself again, today it’s black, i never can forget.
one day i’ll pass from within these walls, you held the cards and held them high, so i couldn’t.
i want to throw it back at you, to switch the game; i know i will, i know i will replace all the things that i needed.
seeing you standing there makes me black, makes me cry; but i still care for you.
walkawalk away from you, you slashed me down, you never cared for me.
within these walls

i try to empty all my thoughts, today they’re black, they never seem to end.
because i cared all too much for you; you saw it joke, a way you could control the people you call your friends.
i always lose to uncertain terms, one day i will, one day i will return.
walkawalk away from you, you slashed me down, i never learned from you.
walk away from the walls within
within these walls
