Overview
Overview
However, after only one release, the Misfits' first single "Cough/Cool" (1977), Cliff Burnstein of Mercury Records had wanted to use the same name for a sub-label. Danzig traded Mercury the rights to the name for studio time, which the Misfits used to record Static Age. Needing a new name for the label, Danzig decided on Plan 9 Records, a reference to the Ed Wood science fiction film Plan 9 from Outer Space (1957). The label continued to release material by the Misfits and later solo efforts by Glenn Danzig and his post-Misfits band Samhain. The only release not to include Danzig was the Victims' Victims EP in 1978. Starting in 1987, all material was distributed by Caroline Records. In 1995, due to a legal settlement between Danzig and Misfits bassist Jerry Only, the label was discontinued.
