Give Some Love

from THE PINSTRIPES / I by The Pinstripes

/
  • LP Record
    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.

    Includes unlimited streaming of THE PINSTRIPES / I via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

Few people truly realize the loving potential they have inside of them. This one goes out to them.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Man walks around
Wearing his hard face all through the city
Darkness abounds
So now there’s no welcome, no one shows pity
Thinks to himself,
“I must be the only one
Feeling so alone
And so unloved
I can barely breathe
With this weight choking down on me
Why don’t I just give up?”

So he wanders down to the corner
where he finds himself
A pretty young thing
So troubled is he that he can
Barely muster up
A feeble grin
She takes one look
And she knows his type
Shackled by their mind
And controlled by their lives in a prison
She said, “What you’re looking for just give it,”

Why don’t you give some love?

The pretty girl’s words stay on his mind
As he looks around for some kind of sign
He walks through broken streets
Sees people’s shattered dreams
As he wonders, “What has become of mine?”
