Black Vinyl Shoes by Shoes was released in 1978 on PVC Records under catalog number PVC 7904. The record is categorized under the genres of Power Pop and Rock.
The album spans fifteen tracks across two sides. Side A opens with "Boys Don't Lie" and continues through "Do You Wanna Get Lucky?," "She'll Disappear," "Tragedy," "Writing A Postcard," "Not Me," "Someone Finer," and "Capital Gain," accounting for eight tracks on the first side. Side B carries seven tracks: "Fatal," "Running Start," "Okay," "It Really Hurts," "Fire For Awhile," "If You'd Stay," and "Nowhere So Fast."
The title itself is worth noting for collectors navigating the band's discography. The phrase Black Vinyl Shoes appears to acknowledge the physical format directly, which may be relevant to those distinguishing between pressings or editions of the record. The PVC Records label, active during this period, issued the release with the catalog designation PVC 7904.
With fifteen tracks divided unevenly between sides — eight on Side A and seven on Side B — the record represents a substantial program of material for a 1978 vinyl release within the Power Pop genre. Track durations are not confirmed in available documentation, and no personnel, recording, or production details have been verified for inclusion here.
