Description
UNPLAYED! This is essentially new - there was never any shrink wrap (see below).
Near Mint - there are slight minimal creases on the top right front cover from the album's initial shipping (refer to photo #1) above the F in the band logo. Otherwise the cover and vinyl are in the same condition as they were upon direct shipping to me on the release of this 7".
I stashed this away as soon as I got it - and I will even ship this with it's original manilla envelope and cardboard paddings (also shown in photo #1).
Bonus info for the hard core fiends - As a side note, this is being sold by Jon Krop / Atomic Pop Monkey (layout credits for the new releases by the Misfits - "The Devil's Rain", "Twilight of the Dead", and "Land of the Dead", and several other Misfits Records releases - I did not do the layout on this 7" however. Also have done web site design for Misfits, JuiceheaD, Osaka Popstar, Johnny & Dee Dee Ramone, Misfits Records & more.)
It's my only copy of this single - and once it's gone, it's gone!
About this single: This special, highly limited collector’s edition 45 contains two rare, never before released and never before completed Misfits tracks predating the American Psycho album. Both songs were written by founding member Jerry Only and properly recorded by the Misfits in their entirety prior to the release of “American Psycho” but the vocal tracks were never recorded. For that reason, the recordings were shelved and left in the vaults, seemingly never to be heard. The rough mixes in their original instrumental form, untouched and exactly as they were left over a decade ago, were restored from a deteriorating source, digitally re-mastered and archived in this vinyl 45 “wax museum”.
The clear vinyl single includes a circular pattern of Misfits logos laser-etched in the vinyl of Side A and a circular pattern of Misfits Fiend Skulls laser-etched into the vinyl on Side B. This feature authenticates each record as being one of the original; highly limited edition 45s issued by Misfits Records and protects fiendish collectors from being fooled by any potential bootlegs that may surface. This promotional only 45 includes a full color cardstock sleeve with artwork by Butch Lukic and is NOT available for sale.
To receive this free promotional single, fiends were required to mail in 3 proof of purchase seals (each included individually) from the Misfits Records releases: “Misfits Project 1950”, “Balzac Beyond the Darkness”, and “Osaka Popstar and the American Legends of Punk”.
The offer officially expired on October 31, 2007. The single has been discontinued and out of print since.
