plan 9 records. pl 1009 / 3 tracks / jun 26 1979

UK: plan 6. / 1993 (bootleg)

First pressing: 25 made on black vinyl. These were not test pressings, but an “emergency” pressing for an upcoming show with the Damned. Most of these copies were distributed in large, black, white, and purple Crimson Ghost envelopes 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 (Info from [MB]). Regular press: 2000 made, all are on gold vinyl. About 20 made with double A side labels. + insert sheet with some copies. There’s a first sleeve that has a different back cover with a group photo. The black printing didn’t come out too well so Glenn Danzig did a new one. This is a real printed sleeve, no xerox or cheap “gatefold” paper. This first sleeve was not sold originally with a record inside. 2000 of this sleeve version were printed, most were either destroyed or cut in half so the front half could be used as a promo sheet. About 20-30 uncut, unfolded sleeves survived, plus around 100 of the cut version; most of them were later sold by Bobby Steele and Barry Henssler (Necros). Trivia: The story on the insert (about the abandoned house) is not true of course. Bootlegs: #1 - red vinyl. #2 - black vinyl with repro insert.

Their second punk EP has another three hits in their early punk sound, rough and melodic. “Children in Heat” is a great song, but for some reason they rarely played it live and didn't include it on the Beware 12”. A classic, of course. [10]  

3 frühe Misfits-Hits, krachig, aber eben mit den genialen Melo­dien und vor allem mit Glenn Danzigs Stimme, die das Ganze auf Kultstatus hebt. Die ersten beiden Tracks sind altbekannt, Child­ren in Heat taucht nur hier auf und wurde auch live nur seltenst gespielt. Was soll ich sagen… Klassiker.

Tracks: horror business // teenagers from mars / children in heat

vic ledman. /  1992 (bootleg)

First press comes with badly designed, sleeve sized sticker, 1000 made. Reissue has repro of Horror Business sleeve.

Recorded live in 1979; muddy, below average sound quality. Songs include the rarely played Children in Heat. [6]  

Ungewöhnlich frühe Liveaufnahmen von ’79 mit dem selten gehörten Children in Heat; dafür ultradumpfer Sound; dazu ein schlecht gestylter Sticker im Coverformat.
