When he was told that this did not meet the plant's minimum order for colored vinyl, Glenn had the pressing plates shipped to a plant on the west coast, but due to an incombatibility in plate sizes, pressing was delayed. In June 1979, Glenn ordered 2000 yellow vinyl copies to be pressed from a record plant in NJ. No explanation of these sounds could be given by the band or the recording crew." Session: Notes: The pressing number of 5000 copies listed for this release on most discographies (including The Misfits Box Set) is incorrect. While mixing the tapes back at a NYC recording studio, strange voices and noises were heard in the background. Insert: Some yellow vinyl copies came with a haunted house insert with a bogus story to explain sounds that occurred during the recording: "On February 28, 1979, the Misfits and a mobile recording unit entered an abandoned haunted house in northern New Jersey. 2nd: Plan 9: PL1009 (August 1979)Ģ000 yellow vinyl copies (approximately 20 double A-sided).
Some black vinyl copies were later sold among collectors using sleeves from the yellow vinyl pressing or the alternate sleeve.
Most of these copies were distributed in a large, black, white, and purple Crimson Ghost envelope with a biography and band photograph.
Pressing: 1st: Plan 9: PL1009 (June 26, 1979)Ģ5 black vinyl copies with no sleeve. here is the info copied from misfitscentral:įormat: 7" EP. it breaks my heart to sell this, but times being what they are, its time to part with my best friend. the sleeve is split down one side, which is a very common issue with this record, it is a 30 year old paper sleeve after all, but can easily be fixed if you feel you need to go that route. it is in perfect playing condition, with zero visible flaws. if you look closely at the photo you'll see the offsetting is in the exact same spot but the labels are in different positions. I learned this information from the man himself, Glenn Danzig, when he signed it for me 12 years ago at the shrine comic show in L.A.(it was later signed by jerry at their first "resurrection" show in southern california.i admit i was there, not proud) if you look at the misfits discography info on, mention is made of this extremely rare find. This version is a mistake by the pressing plant and much like the black version had an extremely small print run. You are bidding on a VERY RARE version of the "horror business" 7" from 1979 by The Misfits with the A-side label on both sides of the record.
