The “Bullet” EP was the second release from the Misfits and marked the birth of their definitive sound. Having added Franché Coma on guitar (in lieu of Glenn’s keyboards) the band’s music (and approach) became more aggressive. 2nd drummer Mr. Jim was now in place, as was the now legendary stage name “Jerry Only”; having used his real last name (misspelled) on the first 7-inch “Cough Cool” the year before.
The 4 tracks on the 7-inch derived from the “Static Age” sessions, which were recorded in 1978 and intended to be their debut album. The album would remain shelved for nearly 20 years.
The sessions were done utilizing free studio time provided by Mercury Records in exchange for full ownership of the name “Blank records”. Mercury and the Misfits were both using the name at the time. Mercury as an imprint for Pere Ubu and the Misfits as their imprint for the '77 debut single “Cough Cool”. The band gave up the “Blank” name to Mercury in exchange for 30 hours of free studio time and the “Static Age” soon began.
First pressing (June of 1978): 1,000 copies on black vinyl in silk-screened gatefold picture sleeves with band photo & "Distributed by Ork" on the back. Distribution through Ork never took place but sleeves had already been printed crediting them. The single was self distributed through Plan 9 and the Ork credit was removed from the sleeve for future pressings.
>>>>In January 1979, 2,000 copies were pressed on red vinyl. The back cover was revised to include the line "Better Dead On Red" and artwork of a bullet hole, replacing the band photo.
