The Misfits Horror Business Rare Custom Repress...
Not the run-of-the-mill boot you’re accustomed to seeing. Custom labels unique to this pressing, comes with lyric sheet. Cover heavy stock with actual manufactured seams, like you’d see in LP jackets or EPs from the 1950’s or 60’s. This press is NOT the type you usually see; blank labels with a thin paper “gate fold” sleeves, which really just means it’s a half-assed boot pumped out to make a quick buck.
Purchased at Reckless Records in Chicago in 1991 and I am the original owner. Manufacture purports to be British according to sticker affixed to label. 
Sleeve is VG with no creasing, I grade it at VG because Long ago  I removed the “import” sticker from the front of the jacket and it took printed surface with it. It was in a black portion of the art and at the time I colored that area in with black magic marker. It looks fine, does not detract from the image at all, but I mention it here. It is the defect which keeps it from grading near mint.
Record itself has great custom labels unique to this press. Sticker on side B label reads “made in the UK.”  Vinyl is VG+. Minimal to NO surface noise. Full luster, vinyl grades VG+ because of hairline scuffing, which can be seen in bright light pics provided. These hairlines are from the casual use which was the norm at the time, as such, grades VG. Absolutely no skipping results. Record is well pressed with perfect sound. Vinyl is thick and opaque.Over all this record was played but well cared for.
Label reads “Plan 6” which is silly, but give these custom manufacturers credit, they weren’t trying to screw anyone. A lot of effort went into this pressing. Of course now you and I know what an original looks like anyway, but pre-internet that wasn’t necessarily the case.
Lyric sheet with haunted house image and story included as when the record was purchased.
A rare custom boot which is not seen often. I am selling only because I’m making room in the collection for new acquisitions. I am NOT dying to get rid of this, I’ve had it the better part of 30 years. So if it doesn’t sell, I won’t have a problem keeping it. Low opening bid.
If you require more pictures or have any questions, let me know. I have been buying, selling and trading records for over 30 years. My grading is strict, MINT means MINT, VG means VG, and sorry, but EXCELLENT is NOT a grade, folks.
A rare pressing that’ll round out any serious Misfits collection with a low starting bid.
Payment due at time of purchase. I accept PayPal only. Record will be shipped in actual record mailer. Please note my three business day handling policy. Often items go out sooner, never longer than three days. Shipping is free.
