Misfits – Legacy Of Brutality

I have the first pressing of this bought it used in 86 for 1 think I got a good deal sounds great

Of course this sounds good, they just slapped the remasters from the 1996 box set on here and called it a day lol. I actually have no problem with this, I always HATED the original vinyl and cd of this album with its thin, terrible sound, but ever since I got the box set back in the 90's and heard these remixes properly remastered, I've liked these NEARLY as much as the original Static Age versions(which I also heard on the box set for the first time, and were a revelation), in fact I listened to nothing BUT those original versions for YEARS and wrote these off until recently, when I checked them out again and ed how great they sound, so if they are going to keep repressing this album on vinyl for whatever reason, then these 1996 cd remasters are really the ONLY way to go, the shrill, thin versions from the original vinyl and cd releases need to be relegated to the dustbin. Personally, I think you'd be better off just getting an original 1985 pressing for the authenticity and the KILLER artwork(the one thing this album always had going for it), and just pick up the 1996 boxset and throw the cd on when you actually want to listen to the songs, that's what I did myself, it's really the best way to go, listening to cd remasters is ALWAYS better on the original cd, instead of going a generation down and listening to them on vinyl, I understand the hipster reasons some people may prefer this, but, as I said, that's what the original 1985 pressing is for. I'll honestly NEVER understand why people buy these old punk classics on repressed, remastered vinyl instead of the corresponding cd that's usually released, you're stil not getting the original version, and you're wasting money on an inferior version of the release you COULD be getting. I know some people just like to have them for the artwork, but they nearly ALWAYS change that as well, at least enough to make it worth your while to just save up a few bucks and get an original pressing. Also, is it me, or do most new vinyl repressings have MORE flaws than the 40 year old used copies you can get online? The represses always seem to skip FAR more, and they never sound any better either, in fact they're usually worse. Just my two cents.

Just picked one of these up earlier this week, finally threw it on tonight and WTF, the tape I bought of this in 1990 was 10x louder. I'm listening on my monitors which should be hitting about 78db where they're at and this thing sounds like its only a quarter of the way up.. Mine's also the 243921E1/B variant like the poster below, no Made In Canada sticker either. They went all out with 180g vinyl but you can barely hear it heh.

Sounds alright.
The reverb on the vocals got cranked.
Decent quality overall.

Does someone know how to differentiate this one from the 2005 pressing? Even runouts seem to be the same.

My copy (just purchased new) matches this nearly exactly, except it's 243921E1/B instead of 243921E1/A and there is no "Made in Canada" sticker. It's also 180g vinyl (black). Unsure if it's a variant of this one or a unique pressing.

Sounds terrible even for a Misfits recording. Buy the Static Age LP if you like these songs, the sound quality is many degrees higher and the story of how the recording came about is legendary (google misfits static age wiki) and done in a professional environment. This should have been the first release from the band as it was recorded first and is the most professional recording of the original material and a true depiction of these amazing songs. Shame no one wanted to put out static age when it was recorded

Looking for a cover if anyone happens to have one...

Sound quality is good for what it is, nothing special in presentation but a decent press

Sounds fine. It's s boot and looks like an original. Got it to play cause I got super into misfits again.
