The iconic singer
and songwriter Glen Danzig has sported many hats over the years, finding fame
with horror punk legends The Misfits, then with Samhain, and then performing
under his own name Danzig with an array of talented musicians. His lyrics are
largely derived from everything ranging from B-Movie horror in the early days,
to religion, and romance in his later years. Here at 991.com we have recently
picked up a number of fantastic collectable items from Danzig's back catalogue,
and October is always the perfect time for listening to anything the legend has
done. Below is a selection of the items recently picked up:
DANZIG
Danzig 4 - Very Rare 1994 US first pressing 12-track vinyl LP, with embossed
gatefold picture sleeve, that has been AUTOGRAPHED
on
the inside of the sleeve in black marker pen by none other than Glenn Danzig
himself! A fine body of Danzig's works it is, featuring some of his most dark
and brooding moments such as Brand New God, Dominion, and Son Of The Morning
Star. Sleeve does show some minor wear, but the autograph is unblemished on the
inside, and the vinyl itself is in spectacular NEAR
MINT condition. Glenn Danzig is sometimes known
to be an intensely private individual, so having something autographed by the
king of horror punk will make a great collectors item to anyone who is a fan of
Danzig!
DANZIG
Danzig III: How The Gods Kill - Very Rare 1992 UK 10-track vinyl LP, pressed in
Germany for
the UK market, with glossy gatefold, stickered picture sleeve which
fold out to show the impressive H.R Giger artwork in its full glory, and lyrics
printed on the inside. Produced by both Glenn Danzig and the legendary Rick
Rubin, this is one of Danzig's more polished affairs, with the blues heavy rock
sound of anthemic tracks like Dirty Black Summer and Left Hand Black sitting
comfortably along side the textured and far more melodic songs like Sistinas and
Anything. Both sleeve shows no signs of its 20 years life and has been stored
perfectly, and the vinyl its self shows only a fine surface mark from being
removed from the inner, otherwise this stunning Danzig rarity is in NEAR
MINT condition, and very rarely seen looking as
wonderful as this, and this is the first copy we here have ever
seen!
SAMHAIN
Initium - Rare 1989 US Third Pressing 10-track vinyl LP, with picture sleeve.
Originally released in 1984, and was the first thing Glenn Danzig would do after
his Departure from horror punk icons The Misfits. Samhains style was slightly
more in the vein of heavy rock rather than punk, with a darker lyrical content
as opposed to the B-Movie style of The Misfits. Classic tracks include Black
Dream, Horror Biz, and the single Archangel. There are also guest appearances
from Lyle Preslar of DC hardcore band Minor Threat, and Al Pike from Reagan
Youth. The sleeve and vinyl show minor signs of their age with minimal creasing
to the sleeve, and only a few surface marks on the vinyl to indicate play, on
the whole this is an all round excellent condition copy of this hard to find gem
from the Danzig legacy
THE
MISFITS The Misfits - Rare deleted US 4-CD collection featuring over 100-tracks
from all the original
albums - the most in-depth release ever! Includes Evilive,
Earth A.D., Static Age + unreleased Sessions CD, with 28-page booklet and badge,
housed in red velvet lined coffin shaped black
box!
