"First time on colored vinyl! Exclusive Glow-In-The-Dark repressing of this 1986 collection from the Punk legends. The compilation is officially titled Misfits, but is commonly referred to as Collection I and was made up as the first half of a pair with the later release of the compilation album Collection II. It includes several versions of songs that are exclusive to this compilation." - Plan 9

"I ain't no goddamn son of a bitch / You better think about it baby." Glenn Danzig's clear AF punk vision helped establish Misfits as one of the most influential acts of the genre, and the band's short-but-tightly-structured songs sound exude that angry, fun, and raw energy, STILL. This comp, also referred to as self-titled pulls 20 tracks from Legacy of Brutality, Static Age, Walk Among Us, and other full-lengths, but there are also selections from EPs as well as versions of songs that do not appear on other releases, e.g., "Where Eagles Dare." Listen from beginning to end, it goes by super quick.
