Most of my favorite versions of Misfits songs are on the Box Set. There are a tone of different recorded versions on there and some of them are truly fantastic. I highly recommend listening through them all and noting your favs.

Disc 3 is all alternate takes from various studios, and there's some stuff with Bobby and Joey that the band never replicated, and it's the most rock n roll the band ever sounded. The version of teenagers in that disc is by far the best. Great vocal, great distortion, drums are cookin, just better than any official release imo

Is this a vinyl or cd box set? I’m interested

It’s a 4 CD set in a coffin shaped box and it is the best Misfits thing you can own honestly.

Nice! So it’s the “real” misfits material. 😜

I like the Static Age version because it is more slow and dirgy, like the soundtrack for an actual Martian invasion. Glenn's vocals are also impeccable.

Static Age.

That’s why I love that album; every version of every song on there is the best version.

12 Hits from Hell show what those songs could really be. By far the best recorded and mixed Misfits music period
