The Misfits without Glenn Danzig’s…

By Melillo | Published 02/04/2012

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.”

Flyer Noize: Misfits Michigan Madness

By Dave | Published 12/04/2011

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.

Testing Her Black Wings

By Dave | Published 11/17/2011

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.

Poster Noize – Misfits Static Age poster

By Dave | Published 11/17/2011

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.

I missed the boat on Halloween Danzig posts

By Dave | Published 11/13/2011

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.

Glenn may be a dick, but hes in good bands!

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!!!!

Necros – Sex Drive for Touch & Go Tuesday?

By Dave | Published 11/01/2011

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.

My Contribution to Wilson Wednesday

By b. murphy | Published 10/12/2011

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!
