The Misfits traded Mercury the \u003cstrong\u003eBlank Records name for about 30 hours of free professional studio time\u003c\/strong\u003e, rushed through 17 songs largely live, then discovered that no label wanted to release the resulting album. Much of that music sat unreleased in its intended form for nearly 20 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHorror Hoax:\u003c\/strong\u003e For 1979's “Horror Business,” the band circulated an elaborate story claiming they had taken a mobile recording unit into an \u003cstrong\u003eabandoned haunted New Jersey house\u003c\/strong\u003e and later discovered unexplained voices and noises on the tapes. It was completely made up. The fake supernatural backstory was basically low-budget B-movie promotion applied to punk records, years before the Misfits' horror branding became iconic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLondon Disaster:\u003c\/strong\u003e Their first trip to England in late 1979 went spectacularly wrong. The Misfits arrived expecting to tour with The Damned, only to discover the arrangement was barely organized, then walked away after disputes over money and equipment. While stranded in London, Danzig and guitarist Bobby Steele got into a confrontation with skinheads outside a Jam concert and spent \u003cstrong\u003etwo nights in Brixton jail\u003c\/strong\u003e. Danzig turned the experience into “London Dungeon,” drummer Joey Image quit and flew home, and the band returned to New Jersey with their first overseas adventure essentially in ruins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Power Plant Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45787090878651,"sku":"","price":32.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/4204\/1658\/files\/s-l1600_1400x_faa1f80d-3d1a-440d-a5b6-4169781758de.webp?v=1711573367","url":"https:\/\/power-plant-records.myshopify.com\/products\/misfits-78-79-studio-recordings-green-vinyl","provider":"Power Plant Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
