  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    A beautiful piece of vinyl, hand-cut with love by Oscar Goldman at the Irrational Media Society, and housed in a poly vinyl outer sleeve which contains a custom-printed card insert, and a printed vellum insert. Your name will be included in the artwork, making each record completely unique. Simply choose up to 6 tracks from the album, and we will cut your unique record. Note that maximum running time is 15 minutes per side (to ensure best fidelity).

    Please see pictures for a guide of how this gorgeous item will look. Please note that these images are of the original limited run - available vinyl colours vary, and artwork will be slightly different for these.

    Not that these are hand-cut to order, when we receive your choice of tracks, and due to the nature of the manufacturing process can take up to 4 weeks to deliver...but well worth the wait!

    Shipping is free within the UK, and a flat rate of £5 to anywhere else in the world. Digital download of the full album is included in the price.

    BUY TWO, AND HAVE THE WHOLE ALBUM ON VINYL!

lyrics

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
Makes the whole world more blind and the mouth much less use
But what’s sauce for the gander is same for the goose
And the lack of one tooth makes the rest much more loose
Yet it all hangs together

A leg for a leg and a nose for a nose
So you hobble along past the blooming red rose
Maybe some day you’ll work out where everything goes
Or just keep on a-hobbling, with one eye on your toes
While it all hangs together

An arm for an arm and an ear for an ear
Got no use for a cuddle, nothing soothing to hear
Seems your vague paranoia wasn’t just random fear
As you cry (with one eye) into tightly held beer
And it all hangs together

A mouth for a mouth and a lung for a lung
Silent melody hangs in the still air, unsung
And you answer the phone, but don’t know if it rung
Not much left of you now, do you still need your tongue?
So it all hangs together

A foot for a foot and a hand for a hand
Now you crawl along slow, like a slug in wet sand
Nothing ventured nor gained, still you can’t understand
Why the rules of the game are the lay of the land
If it all hangs together

A head for a head and a brain for a brain
Now it’s too late to go round the playground again
And the only thing left is a memory of pain
And we’ll all hang together
