Misfits (1977-1981) – 2 Fan Albums

Leave a comment

For those not in the know, fan albums are the attempts of me and many others to take songs and put them on an album, typically they’re made to improve upon something, such as an existing album or to take non-album tracks and put them on an album.

This project became a bit of a mess. I wanted to cover the many, many alternate versions of tracks. Just like Black Flag, Misfits loved to go in the recording studio just to do the same songs over and over, with most not released until compilations many years later. The various Box Sets are sequenced absurdly, with them being sorted in a very strange order. Releases claiming to be comprehensive tended to miss things. Also like Black Flag, Misfits is just okay. I think on average Danzig’s Conservative Merry-Men are better, for all their absurdity, but Damaged is still solid.

The first two albums are my fan albums (which feature no overlap with the two proper (extremely short) LPs), followed by a chronological mix of official albums and self-made compilations of alternate versions for those that don’t want to leave anything behind, other than the post-Danzig era.

Believe it or not, but Static Age is one of my all time favorite album covers. The music itself is okay. Halloween is a bit better, and the rest I’ve heard is just whatever, but I’ll still raise a glass to that cover.
