Credits:

Bass – Jerry Only

Drums – Joey Image

Guitar – Bobby Steele

Liner Notes – Dave Street

Vocals – Glenn Danzig

NOTES:

Glenn had 2000 sleeves printed with a back cover featuring a group photo of the band. Due to the light coloring of the black ink on the back, Glenn decided to redo the sleeve. Most of the original sleeves were cut in half by Glenn and Bobby; the front covers were saved for use as promotional items, and the back covers were thrown away. Bobby saved about 20-30 uncut sleeves and more than 100 cut sleeves. Some uncut sleeves were also saved by Glenn and given to Barry Henssler of The Necros . Both Bobby and Barry began selling their sleeves in the late 1980s. The alternate sleeves were never folded, glued, or issued with vinyl. Some collectors have since replaced their regular sleeves with the alternate sleeve.

This rare and authentic Alternate record sleeve is a must-have for any Danzig/Punk rock music enthusiast. The unique alternate back sleeve design of THE MISFITS HORROR BUSINESS 45rpm makes this item even more special. It has been autographed by the legendary Bobby Steele /Joey Image

Aternate sleeve was manufactured in the United States and is an original piece of:  The Misfits memorabilia. It is perfect for collectors and fans alike. Don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to own a piece of music history.

I know mostly what my records/items conditioning are like and probably grading a bit lower than actual condition to be safe in giving you what you're paying for.

NOTES: There was a concern about the front cover with the Fiend on it being embossed rather silk screen.

Personal note:

Bobby Steele didn't sell fake covers with the alternative back sides. I got this from him in the early 80's

Distinguishing between screen printing and letterpress printing can sometimes be challenging just by visual inspection, especially if you are not familiar with the specific characteristics of each printing method. However, there are some key visual cues that can help you differentiate between the two:

• 1. Texture: Letterpress printing often creates a distinct raised texture on the paper, where the ink is pressed into the paper, leaving a slight indentation. Screen printing, on the other hand, typically results in a smoother finish without any noticeable texture.

• 2. Ink Thickness: In screen printing, the ink is usually thicker and more opaque, resulting in a more vibrant and solid color. Letterpress printing tends to have a thinner layer of ink, which may show some variations in color intensity.

• 3. Sharpness of Details: Letterpress printing is known for its crisp and sharp details, especially in fine lines and small text. Screen printing can also achieve sharp details but may not be as precise as letterpress in capturing fine details.

• 4. Color Overlaps: In screen printing, it is easier to overlay different colors to create blends or gradients. This can sometimes result in a slightly raised texture where the colors overlap. Letterpress printing typically does not have this overlapping effect.

• 5. Ink Saturation: Screen printing can achieve a higher level of ink saturation, resulting in more vibrant and intense colors. Letterpress ink, while rich, may appear more subdued and have a softer look.

• 6. Paper Type: While not always definitive, the type of paper used can sometimes provide clues. Letterpress printing is often done on thicker, textured papers that can better showcase the impression left by the printing process. Screen printing can be done on a wider variety of paper types, including smoother surfaces.
