Released through Caroline Records, the compilation captures the New Jersey horror-punk architects at their most influential—from their proto-punk hunger and theatrical grotesquerie to their sludgy, muscular refinement. Within the Misfits' fractured discography, this collection serves as a bridge document, assembling key cuts that defined their uncompromising approach to punk rock during an era when the genre itself was fragmenting into countless subgenres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tracklist moves between raw early material and heavier iterations: \"We Are 138\" and \"Attitude\" showcase the lean, angular attack that made them essential listening in underground circles, while \"Last Caress\" and \"Return Of The Fly\" demonstrate their ability to harness feedback and low-end aggression without sacrificing songcraft. \"Cough\/Cool\" and \"Children In Heat\" underscore their knack for visceral hooks wrapped in minor-key menace. The record sustains a cohesive atmospheric pull—murky, defiant, perpetually unsettled—that explains their continuing influence on metal, punk, and post-punk factions alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis first black vinyl pressing from 1996 represents the original Caroline Records release, mastered at West West Side and issued with a printed inner sleeve and removable stickers. The label appears twice across spine and center labels, documenting the care taken in its manufacture. For collectors prioritizing the debut pressing, this 1996 version precedes subsequent reissues and retains its period specifications, making it the definitive vinyl edition for those seeking the release as originally intended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Collection II\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist\u003c\/strong\u003e: Misfits\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Caroline Records\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rock, Hardcore, Punk\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl, LP, Compilation, Repress\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry\u003c\/strong\u003e: US\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1996\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0 17046 75151 3\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\nA1.
