OUT OF STOCK MISFITS
12 HITS FROM HELL The MSP Sessions / Aug. 7th 1980
Leave it to the 'fits to have their greatest record available only as a bootleg. This is hands-down the band's best performance, captured during what was easily their best-sounding recording session.
....BUT...former members managed to grumble this album out of existence. Glenn Danzig (who went on to start Samhain and Danzig) and Jerry Only (who was in some Christian band called Kryst the Conqueror, before joining a Misfits tribute band called The Misfits) both decided that they didn't want anyone to hear a Misfits record with songs that were played well AND recorded well (it was one or the other - or sometimes neither!). So, promotional copies that had already been sent out for review were recalled. The CDs that were already manufactured were destroyed before they shipped to any stores. A legit vinyl edition of this album has never been authorized.
...and that's really a damn shame.
