    Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    The digital explosion has come and is here to stay, but let us also ride the second wave of analog audio glory. Let's get serious: Vinyl, when done right, sounds fatter, wider, and more sexy on your turntable than an mp3 download does on your mom' laptop. So why spare the expense!? It's all about the music, anyways, right?

    Because of length restrictions when pressing up high-quality LP's (after a certain point, the more music per side, the lower the audio quality, especially low end!) we picked 7 of the album tunes to stand as the LP tracklist. Could we have pressed all the onto one LP? Probably. But if they all sound like a bad mp3, then what's the point!? Fear not, though. This LP package is one you can't pass up. Read on!

    Contents include:
    -7 hard-hitting bangers of reggae/ska/soul/dub/fire from The Pinstripes / I pressed on 140g black vinyl
    -Hand silkscreened LP jackets, printed by The Pinstripes in the Pinstripes house. Special editions available (see pictures)
    -Limited edition of 500, hand numbered jackets
    -11"x22" folding paper insert with complete lyrics, album credits, and poster art
    -High-durability polypropylene clear sleeve with each LP for protection
    -Full copy of The Pinstripes / I CD in a paper sleeve
    -Special edition Pinstripes / I silver foil sticker
    -PDF Liner notes and desktop/iphone wallpapers on "enhanced content" CD

    Order one to hear what The Pinstripes are all about. We have our I on you.

about

A conscious and reflective reggae tune, contemplating one's place in a complex and overwhelming world scene.

lyrics

LYRICS:

How long will we wait for an answer?
And how long must we wait to control our own destiny?
And how long has it been since you and me
Looked around and realized that freedom’s not free?

How many people must suffer
To put one dollar in our pocket?
How many people must die
Before we look in the mirror when choosing our target? How many people Must suffer
To put one dollar in our pocket?
How many will be gone
Until we don’t have to sing these songs?

So it seems we have come to an impasse
Past where we started
Fast approaching is the time
When a shot rings out and the river runs red
And no one really cares if you’re alive or dead
The people they suffer, oh how they do,
I see the children and mothers
Waiting and hoping
With nothing to do but cry
