{"product_id":"misfits-static-age-cd","title":"Misfits - Static Age CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eStatic 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.  In January and February 1978 the Misfits, then consisting of Danzig, guitarist Franché Coma, bassist Jerry Only, and drummer Mr. Jim, recorded seventeen songs at C.I. Recordings in New York City with engineer and producer Dave Achelis. Due to time constraints, the band recorded the songs live in the studio with only a few takes and very few overdubs.[3] Ultimately fourteen of the seventeen tracks produced during the 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. While on tour in Canada that October, guitarist Franché Coma abruptly quit the band, followed by drummer Mr. Jim at the tour's conclusion. With the band's future far from certain, the Static Age recordings were shelved indefinitely. With the release of the Misfits box set in 1996, the complete original Static Age album saw the light of day for the first time on CD, eighteen years after the songs were recorded. The box set included all three compilation albums as well as a disc with all fourteen Static Age tracks that had been mixed in 1978. The remaining three tracks, \"She\", \"Spinal Remains\", and \"In the Doorway\", were mixed by Alan Douches and Tom Bejgrowicz on February 24, 1997, at West West Side Music and were included when Static Age was finally released as a standalone album that July. \"In the Doorway\" had never before been released, as it had remained unmixed on the master tapes for nineteen years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yearbook Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45819062124627,"sku":"MISFITS-STATICAGECD","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/3670\/5363\/files\/Misfits-StaticAge_136700ba-b4f4-4a7d-bfec-efcd605fc870.jpg?v=1784059087","url":"https:\/\/www.yearbookrecords.com\/products\/misfits-static-age-cd","provider":"Yearbook Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
