Caroline Records also released the compilation album Misfits in 1986. He also released the compilation album Legacy of Brutality in 1985, consisting of unreleased Misfits material on which he had overdubbed new guitar and bass tracks. After the band's breakup in 1983 Danzig continued to issue Misfits material through Plan 9, including the studio album Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood (1983), which had been recorded prior to the breakup, the " Die, Die My Darling" single (1984), and the live album Evilive (1987). The one notable exception was the band's 1982 album Walk Among Us, which was released by the Slash Records subsidiary imprint Ruby Records. Danzig holds writing credits on all of the songs from these years, and held the rights to the material through the label. The majority of their material had been issued by singer and songwriter Glenn Danzig's label Plan 9 Records. There were also numerous tracks that had been recorded during the band's active period from 1977 to 1983 but had never been released. Prior to the release of the boxed set most of the Misfits' material had been scattered amongst various albums, EPs, and singles, many of which had gone out of print. These tracks were mixed and included with Static Age when it was released as a separate album in 1997. Additionally the set omits three tracks from the Static Age sessions which had been recorded but were never mixed: "She", "Spinal Remains", and "In the Doorway". The album Walk Among Us (1982) was not included in the boxed set, as it was the only album to which Caroline Records did not hold distribution rights. The fourth disc comprises the Static Age album, which had been recorded in 1978 but had never before been released in its entirety. The third disc is composed of tracks recorded during the band's studio sessions, some of which had previously released on the " Bullet" and " Night of the Living Dead" singles but most of which had never before been released. The second disc includes another compilation, Legacy of Brutality (1985), as well as the albums Evilive (1987) and Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood (1983). The first disc includes tracks from the compilation albums Misfits (1986 - referred to in this set as Collection I) and Collection II (1995). The four CDs of the set include almost all of the material written and recorded by the Misfits between 19. The exterior cover of the booklet was illustrated by artist Dave McKean. It also includes a "Fiend Club" pin and a booklet containing photographs, song lyrics, a discography, and a history of the band written by their photographer and associate Eerie Von. Packaged in a coffin-shaped, velvet-lined box, the set includes four compact discs covering most of the band's recorded material from the years when Glenn Danzig was their singer and songwriter.
The Misfits is a boxed set of material by the horror punk band the Misfits, released in 1996 by Caroline Records.
