Walkin' the Razor's Edge was the fourth studio album by the Canadian heavy metal band Helix. It was released on the Capitol Records label in 1984.
A music video was made for the Crazy Elephant cover "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'". Two versions of this video were filmed: One for music video channels, and the other being an "adult" version featuring topless models including a then 16-year-old porn star Traci Lords. This version was aired on the Playboy Channel in the United States.
The band also made a promotional video for their A Foot in Coldwater cover, "(Make Me Do) Anything You Want", as well as "Rock You". The video for "Rock You", filmed in a quarry in Kitchener, Ontario, is perhaps best known for the image of guitar player Brent Doerner emerging from the water to play his guitar solo.
All tracks written by Helix except where noted.
Recorded at Phase One Studios (Toronto, Ontario), Electric Lady (New York City), Studio One (Atlanta).
