Insert: Some yellow vinyl copies came with a haunted house insert with a bogus story to explain sounds that occurred during the recording: Previously, it had sold at a record store named Golden Disc for under a dollar.Ģ000 yellow vinyl copies (approximately 20 double A-sided). The Max's Kansas City copy supposedly turned up at a New York City record convention in 1987 and sold for around $200. Several of the copies had a The Misfits logo pasted onto a generic, white paper sleeve with the song titles typed on. Glenn then had five special acetates made and distributed them as follows: 1 went to Glenn Danzig 1 went to Jerry Only 1 went to Max's Kansas City jukebox 1 went to CBGB's jukebox 1 went to George Germain. According to Glenn Danzig, the first acetate pressed was an "acetate master" with "Teenagers From Mars" on both sides. For unknown reasons (probably lack of funds), the idea was dropped. The single was originally intended to be released on Plan 9 as PL1003. Notes: This legendary 7" is a source of great confusion. There is also a bootleg of the lyric sheet (most obvious difference: "dint" instead of "dirt") please see bootleg section for more details. An almost exact Japanese bootleg exists for the 1st pressing please see bootleg section for more details. All distribution was actually done by Plan 9 Records. Notes: After the 1st pressing sleeves were printed, the deal with Ork fell through and was cancelled. Insert: Silk-screened color or black and white photocopy lyric sheet. The number 7000 first appeared for this "pressing" in the June 1986 Thrasher discography by Pushead, which Glenn has acknowledged as incorrect.
This explains the larger concentration of "third pressings" in this area of the US. He used the new sleeves on the extra vinyl, and then supposedly filled a large order from Tesco Vee at School Kids Records in Dearborn, MI. When the "Better Dead On Red" sleeves for the 2nd pressing came in, Glenn still had about 100 extra black vinyl 1st pressing copies without sleeves. 3rd: Contrary to legend, there was no true 3rd pressing.
