A compilation of demos, limited edition records and unreleased soundtracks from the period 1996 (the return of..) to 2001. Opening strong with the ’96 “Mars Attacks” demos, (which were re-released for the “American Psycho” CD) in their original versions. Some funny covers “I got a right” (Iggy Pop) and ‘50s classic “Monster Mash”, my absolute favourite Misfit song: Devil Doll, and ending with a live version of “Rise Above”, a Black Flag classic, with Black Flag guests Robo and Cadena on drums and vocals/guitar.

A collection of 17 alternative, or limited edition versions of Misfits songs, from party-punk (I wanna be a NY Ranger) to kinda metal (Devil Doll/ No more Moments). A nice overview of the work of the reborn masters of horror punk-metal. Only question is: is this an extra service for the fans, or just easy money?
