Editions


This bootleg was released in basically four editions.

  • The first edition is a black 12" vinyl LP coming in a black cardboard cover with a large Walk Away logo
in a square and the bootleg title Tune In ... Turn Off ... Burn Out ... in red print on it.
  • The vinyls come with September Songs labels.
The colours of these labels vary, however; the first issues often have labels of
different colour on each side , i.e. pale blue labels on Side One and yellow ones
on Side Two. Some copies also have pale blue September Songs labels on both sides,
while later copies mainly come with yellow September Songs labels on both sides.

  • Another edition with plain white labels on black vinyls is known to exist as well.
Apart from the labels, there is no difference between this edition and the first one.
  • Likewise, there is white-label issue on red vinyl,
allegedly a limited edition of 50 copies only, which are very hard to find.
These too, come with the same coverart and tracks as all the other aforementioned issues.
  • Both white-label editions often have notes written by former owners on their labels
to mark what side they have in front of them or what record.
  • Run-out grooves on all these editions: TUNE IN/A, TUNE IN /B


  • There is also a picture disc coming in a transparent plastic sleeve (see on top of the page)
On Side One is a picture of the front cover of the first edition and on the other side a picture of the cover back.
According to the Reverberation Across The Nation Discography Booklet, this picture disc was a limited edition of 300 copies.

Unique Swingin' Pig Pressing
A very obscure and unique Swingin' Pig Records pressing has surfaced.

It is pressed on red vinyl and hS genuine orange Swingin' Pig labels. The record comes white cardboard cover

and notes the band name and the title of the bootleg in large marker-letters in a handwritten cover .

Possibly, this one is the original first pressing. The Run-out grooves are "Tune in" A/B and "Leder"
