The Misfits – “Hollywood Babylon” (Audio)
‘Bullet’
Plan 9 Records – Jun. 1978
*The Misfits – “Hollywood Babylon” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwBxF4eL0I8 // https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_Age // ‘Static Age’ is the third studio album by the American horror punk band Misfits, recorded in 1978. Although it was the first album the band ever recorded, it was not released in its entirety until 1996. Fourteen of seventeen tracks produced during recording sessions were assembled for the Misfits’ anticipated debut album, to be titled ‘Static Age’. However, the band were unable to find a record label interested in releasing the album. Instead, the Misfits released four of the new tracks (“Bullet”, “We Are 138”, “Attitude”, and “Hollywood Babylon”) as the “Bullet” single in June 1978 on Danzig’s newly created label Plan 9 Records (the same four tracks, along with a remixed version of “Last Caress”, were reissued on the Beware EP in January 1980).*
