Pins in It is the third album by New Zealand blues-rock band The Human Instinct. It was released in 1971 and was both the first album to feature bassist Neil Edwards (formerly of the Underdogs) and the last to feature Billy TK on guitar. TK's departure signalled the end of the band's hard rock era.
In contrast to previous Human Instinct albums, Pins In It features mainly original compositions. The album includes one cover version, Pink Floyd's "The Nile Song". The lyrics of the opening track, "Pinzinet", were based on the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. "Rainbow World" was released as a single.
The album was reissued on CD in 2001 by Ascension Records with four bonus tracks of alternative versions.
10. "Playing My Guitar" (alternative version)
11. "The Nile Song" (alternative version)
12. "Duchess of Montrose" (alternative version)
13. "Rainbow World" (alternative version)
