Description
You are bidding on a VERY RARE version of the "horror business" 7" from 1979 by The Misfits with the A-side label on both sides of the record. this is NOT A BOOTLEG OR REPRESS. This version is a mistake by the pressing plant and much like the black version had an extremely small print run. I learned this information from the man himself, Glenn Danzig, when he signed it for me 12 years ago at the shrine comic show in L.A.(it was later signed by jerry at their first "resurrection" show in southern california...i admit i was there, not proud) if you look at the misfits discography info on misfitscentral.com, mention is made of this extremely rare find. if you look closely at the photo you'll see the offsetting is in the exact same spot but the labels are in different positions. it is in perfect playing condition, with zero visible flaws. the sleeve is split down one side, which is a very common issue with this record, it is a 30 year old paper sleeve after all, but can easily be fixed if you feel you need to go that route. it breaks my heart to sell this, but times being what they are, its time to part with my best friend. here is the info copied from misfitscentral:Horror BusinessTeenagers From Mars Children In Heat Format: 7" EP. Pressing: 1st: Plan 9: PL1009 (June 26, 1979) 25 black vinyl copies with no sleeve. Most of these copies were distributed in a large, black, white, and purple Crimson Ghost envelope with a biography and band photograph. Some black vinyl copies were later sold among collectors using sleeves from the yellow vinyl pressing or the alternate sleeve. 2nd: Plan 9: PL1009 (August 1979) 2000 yellow vinyl copies (approximately 20 double A-sided). Insert: Some yellow vinyl copies came with a haunted house insert with a bogus story to explain sounds that occurred during the recording: "On February 28, 1979, the Misfits and a mobile recording unit entered an abandoned haunted house in northern New Jersey. They recorded and left. While mixing the tapes back at a NYC recording studio, strange voices and noises were heard in the background. No explanation of these sounds could be given by the band or the recording crew." Session: [01//1979 C.I. Recording] Notes: The pressing number of 5000 copies listed for this release on most discographies (including The Misfits Box Set) is incorrect. In June 1979, Glenn ordered 2000 yellow vinyl copies to be pressed from a record plant in NJ. When he was told that this did not meet the plant's minimum order for colored vinyl, Glenn had the pressing plates shipped to a plant on the west coast, but due to an incombatibility in plate sizes, pressing was delayed. However, Glenn had the plant press a quick batch of 25 copies to be given away at the band's upcoming 06/26/1979 show with The Damned. Meanwhile, Glenn had 2000 sleeves printed with a back cover featuring a group photo of the band. Due to the light coloring of the black ink on the back, Glenn decided to redo the sleeve. Most of the original sleeves were cut in half by Glenn and Bobby; the front covers were saved for use as promotional items, and the back covers were thrown away. Bobby saved about 20-30 uncut sleeves and more than 100 cut sleeves. Some uncut sleeves were also saved by Glenn and given to Barry Henssler of The Necros. Both Bobby and Barry began selling their sleeves in the late 1980s. The alternate sleeves were never folded, glued, or issued with vinyl. Some collectors have since replaced their regular sleeves with the alternate sleeve. The regular pressing of the EP, with the individual band member photos on back, was released in August 1979, arriving from the west coast in 20 boxes of 100 copies each. About 1 copy per box (roughly 20 in all) had A-side center labels on both sides. There are several bootlegs of this release and its insert; please see bootleg section.shipping price is set at $4.00 but final shipping price will be determined at the end of the auction based on price of shipping insurance.I ACCEPT PAYPAL ONLY!!!! WILL SHIP WORLDWIDE!
