Easily one of my top ten records of all time. Not on your top ten list? That’s okay, I have better taste in music that you do. Green-friend is selling a real treasure. Original pressing on Plan 9 and VG+/EX- condition. Nothing wrong with this auction at all. It’s the weekend, treat yourself.
autograph. That’s what lotsofrecords is trying to sell here. An interesting bootleg/repress on a fake label, but with some autographs of guys that played in the Misfits at various times. Somewhat of a collector’s item if you are a completionist. The coolest part of this listing is probably the Field Club card entitled “FIND A FIEND.”
Looks like if you wanted to catch the Misfits on a regular basis between 1981 and 1983 then Michigan was the place to be. Of course most of us werent around then for it but luckily rickyball was and saved some of these gems. Some are fairly “common” if you collect Misfits flyers and others are real rarities. I think this is the first time ive seen the Bookies flyer for sale. My personal fav is the Oct 29th 1983 flyer which is for the last Misfits show. Its not the best shape but its the rarer orange paper which is +1 level up if youre trying to catch em all.
bluetileauctions has something I’ve never seen before, a Danzig test pressing. I know people who have some, but I’ve never seen one for sale. This isn’t for one of the albums but it is a Danzig at their peak. It was made into a 12″ single, as the seller wonders about. I believe the 12″ single was only sent out to radio stations as promo. This has potential to really jump in price with some the Danzig crazies out there.
I know this isn’t an “old” Misfits poster but its still pretty awesome. Static Age, the aborted 1978 Misfits album was supposed to be released Halloween 1995 but got postponed again until 1997. But not before Caroline printed up 40,000 promo posters for the record. They gave 2000 of them to the band who were about to announce their triumphant comeback. Then the album got put on the shelf and Caroline destroyed 95% of the posters. The price on this one yuanwu has might seem a little high but this would look really cool framed and its not some bullshit poster from Hot Topic.
so this is getting a late start. It seems like yesterday that orange copies of NCF would struggle to hit $150. This one is at $300 with 8 days left and the reserve isnt met. Its true it doesnt turn up much but with all the Danzig hate going on right now you would think it wouldnt go too high.
Like most people selling colored Misfits/Samhain vinyl these days, andrew.flyguy goes out of his way to point out the vinyl has a swirl or flake in it of another color, thinking it makes it more valuable. Sadly that tactic works on the average idiot collecting Danzig related records.
After the recent crap that Danzig pulled at the Fun Fun Fun Fest in Texas I think its important we remind ourselves why we (I) still like this man.
EXHIBIT 1 – The Misfits Coffin Box Set -
There are not to many records that I think everyone should own, but the Misfits discography is one! This is not the super cool first press with the cool slim jewel cases, but what really matters here is that you get the songs and it still comes with the book & pin.
EXHIBIT 2 – The Samhain Box Set –
I’m sad to say that I don’t have this and I really wish I did. Theres no excuse because it came out when I was working at Newbury Comics so I could have gotten a discount on it, but I kept putting it off and just never picked one up. Learn from my mistake and buy this one!!
EXHIBIT 3 – Danzig III ‘How The Gods Kill’ Box Set -
We’re just using this example to represent all the early Danzig stuff. After this record they started to decline in quality, but Danzig I, II & III are all great! This is the limited boxed version of Danzig III with the 3-D Geiger cover art. My dad bought this for me for my birthday when it came out and a few years later when I was cleaning my room I threw out the box thinking all I needed was the CD. Once again… learn from my mistake and buy this!!!!
Im dubbing this Touch and Go Tuesday. And to kicked it of here is one of the rarest and most sought after hardcore records. rickyball has available here a Sex Drive 7″. Only 100 of these were made in 1981 on Touch and Go. It never comes up for sale and nowadays hits the low to mid 4 figures when it does. The record itself actually sucks and is barely listenable, but theres only 100 of them so who cares its rare right? If this goes for under $2000 ill be surprised.
Probably not the Wilson you were expecting, but Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys is one of my favorites. Not very hardcore, but Smile makes me do just that. This is a rare promo EP. A little wacky, but a cool piece.
Something a little more core, you say? What about when Minor Threat played the Wilson Center?
The Misfits played the Wilson Center too. Nearly 19 years ago to the day. Fuck.
But to bring it back to a hardcore Wilson, there is always Matt Wilson of Set Your Goals. Solid dude, and straight edge. Big fan. This one glows in the dark. Watch out!
Good old ryebread just relisted this bad boy in improved condition. Does it look like its worth $600? Well it probably is. A non-cut one of these used come in around the $4-5000 mark. Im guessing this was Tim Kerr from the Big Boys copy and was like this when Glenn gave it to him. This one was up before but i guess Ryan took it down and had it attached to a linen backing to keep it from being destroyed any more. All these old Misfits screened show posters are printed on super thin cheap butchers paper so their condition 30 years later is somewhat less than stable. If i didnt already have one of these I would be all over this. Jeff StartToday im directing this one at you
Now I don’t expect anyone to actually buy these at the prices they’re listed for, but my friend Aaron, aka ak-themisfit, aka the dude who had the best Misfits collection in the world for a while, has up some real rarities in the Misfits world.
Back when the Fiend Club wasn’t something you listed your bootleg Misfits records on ebay under, and wasn’t something on the back of a shirt at Hot Topic, Glenn used to make and send things out himself when you ordered from the band. If you ordered a record (or were lucky enough to get a screened show poster randomly) it came in one of these envelopes. There were 5 different Fiend Club envelopes between 1978 and 1983, the 4 silkscreened ones below and one that was offset printed and used to sell for about $25 on ebay in the late 90s.
This is the only one listed which i dont actually have myself. Its by far the rarest of them all with i believe only 4-5 known to still exist. Almost all of them got sent out with copies of Horror Business on black vinyl. Im guessing this unmailed one came right from Glenn to the seller. Its actually just a partial image of the Max’s 3-28-79 poster`screened onto an envelope. This shit is no joke, but its not $4777 no joke.
The second rarest of them is this double screened envelope used around 1981. I might be making this up but i seem to remember seeing a black/red one once. This is the black/purple though. Again not many known to still be around, especially in unmailed condition.
The more common version of the above envelope. Almost all them were like this one. My Ritz poster was originally sent in one of these.
The final one is the one used around 1980 for a while. This is probably the same screen used for the original Fiend Club shirts too. A good place to start if you want to get into collecting thigns screened by Danzig.
Im a little surprised at how cheap this is with less than 24 hours left to go. Not so long ago this was a $800-$1000 record, especially one in this condition. Surely the missing insert cant be worth more than the vinyl and cover? Ironically being sold by plan9music, which is the record store not the label. As far aesthetics goes the 1st pressing of Bullet is one of my favorites of all time so insert or not I am going to have my eye on this.
This is one of those records most people probably aren’t going to go after. Its never going to be cheap and you’re never getting a good deal on it. If anything most people are going to think its worth MORE than it is just because it says Misfits on it. Its purple vinyl but its considered clear since its not as purple as the purple vinyl. And since this one isnt super clear its only worth about half as much.
pinball-amoeba has a few other Misfits rarities up as well. Including this Italian copy of Walk Among Us with the rarer “Slash” labels.
Its no secret that Misfits related things are my shit. I have a pretty sizable Misfits collection. But one thing i cant stand is other Misfits collectors (with 3 or 4 exceptions). They tend to not only know nothing about anything besides the Misfits, but they also know nothing about records in general. Take for example this Earth AD offered by surf80. 1st press on Plan 9? Check. Bright purple cover? Double check. Smokey streaked translucent black vinyl? Umm… how about its just cheap thin recycled black vinyl. If thats grounds for making a record worth more then I have a bunch of records pressed at United I need to eBay stat!
For further example of Misfits collector ignorance, see this copy of Die Die My Darling for sale from mutualstar.
I can’t say for sure, but it’s a good bet that bookwormnj wasn’t with me and my buddy in 1992 at the Harvard Square Newbury Comics when I saw this record for the first time. I was flipping thru the vinyl in the back corner (where it used to be, next to the posters and comics) and saw the cover. I pulled it out and said to my friend, “Huh, this actually looks pretty cool.” Now, truth be told, I am not a big Danzig fan. Never was really too into the Misfits, probably heard Samhain once, just enough to decide it wasn’t for me, and aside from “Mother” I didn’t bother with his solo stuff. My friend stopped flipping for a sec, looked over, and gave a dismissive “pssh” following it with, “Nah dude, it’s like a fuckin opera or some shit.” I gave him a weird look, “An opera? A Danzig opera?” He shook his head and went back to flipping, “I dunno man, there’s fucking pianos and shit… violins… a chick singing.” I put the record back, I didn’t like Danzig, and I didn’t like opera. Simple choice.
It’s now 19 years later. I’ve still never heard this record. Is it an opera? Wikipedia says there are female vocalists, and that it hit #1 on the Billboard Classical charts in 1992 (?!?!) I queued up a youtube video, but it was quiet, and the AC is on, and the dog is snoring… the cover does look real cool though.
