The Misfits - Beware 7" (1980)


Can't pass up a classic, before the Misfits became the decor of skateboards, hoodies, and the back of just about every mall punks expensive leather jacket that was way too big for them they were actually a really original band doing something completely different to anything else coming out of the States. Forget about the reformed Misfits that featured Michael Graves, guy was a douchebag and the music sucked! The Beware 7" is a compilation of sorts that features a stack of songs off various other singles but more important features my favorite Misfits song second only to 'Hybrid Moments'.

"ONE LAST CARESS"

What a fucking ripper! Interestingly enough this 7" was pressed to 3120 copies in the UK to promote their 1979 tour. Unfortunately the sleeve artwork was not finished in time, so it wasn't made public until January 1980. Regardless, as far as Misfits records are concerned, this is my favorite, it has everything one could hope for. Such a shame most "Misfits" fans these days don't appreciate the brilliance that is vinyl which they as a band were much more well suited to.
