{{quote box|align=right|width=35%|quote="It's possibly an accurate number. Our record ''[[Out of Step (album)|Out of Step]]'' has to have sold 15,000 [copies], and my perception is the Misfits were bigger than [[Minor Threat]]. I mean, some of the shows on the ''Walk Among Us'' tour were huge.

''Walk Among Us'' was originally slated for release in 1981 on the band's own label, Plan 9 Records, but was neither pressed nor released due to a lack of financing.<ref name=diffuser /><ref name=misfitsdisc /> After several independent labels on the West Coast took interest in releasing the album, and it was released in the United States on [[12" LP]] by [[Ruby Records]], an imprint of [[Slash Records]], in March 1982.<ref name=diffuser />{{sfn|Cotter|2019|p=25}} The first pressing of ''Walk Among Us'' featured a pink background and logo, while the second pressing featured a purple background.<ref name=misfitsdisc /> Danzig began claiming as early as 1983 that ''Walk Among Us'' had sold over 20,000 copies, and that it sold even greater numbers in overseas markets.{{sfn|Greene|2013|p=44}} Chris Desjardins, who helped mix the album and who operated Ruby Records, has considered Danzig's claims about the album's sales figures to be most likely inaccurate, as the label's most successful releases at the time generally sold between 2,500 and 5,000 copies.{{sfn|Greene|2013|p=44}}
