Description
DIE DIE MY DARLING by The Misfits. 1st Pressing, peach cover, opaque black vinyl.
This is an original first pressing copy of the 1984 release of DIE DIE MY DARLING by the Misfits.
I am the original owner – I bought it the week it came out in 1984.
I take very good care of my records and this LP has not left my possession since I originally purchased it in 1984. The condition of the cover is VG++, showing only minor wear. Please see pictures where I’m showing you close-ups of any flaws that are evident. The vinyl is a very clean VG+++. I’d almost call it NM, but I reserve that rating for records that I have only played a few times (I played this one a lot).
The “peach” color on the cover is what tells you this is a first pressing. I put the word “peach” in quotes because it isn’t really peach colored, but this particular shade of pinkish purple has for some reason been termed “peach” by Misfits collectors, and so I’m using that term here.
OTHER NOTES:
The label has the clarity of a first pressing.
There is a large ring around the spindle hole.
On the catalog number of the B side label (PL9-03B) the B is smaller than the 3.
Title on spine appears as “Die, Die, My Darling.”
I have had some help with the excellent Facebook group known as Fiend Collectors to verify the pressing and rarity of this copy. Several experts there have told me this is definitely a first pressing, which didn’t surprise me as I bought it in the week of its release. I’ve been told that from this first run there were 500 purple vinyl copies, and approximately 1500 black vinyl copies. This is one of those black vinyl copies. Very rare.
The track listing is:
