Appendix B - Record Labels

Blank Records / Plan 9 Records

Blank Records was Glenn Danzig's record label. It existed only in 1977 and was responsible for distributing The Misfits' first single. The label was re-named Plan 9 Records in late 1977 after The Misfits made a deal with Mercury Records, who had named one of their sub-labels Blank Records. Plan 9 existed from 1978 until January 1995 when Glenn Danzig was forced to discontinue it as part of the legal settlement with The Misfits and Caroline Records. Glenn had used Plan 9 Records to release albums by The Misfits and Samhain, as well as his solo releases and one EP by The Victims. The first EP by The Undead was also originally supposed to be released on Plan 9. All Plan 9 releases after 1986 were distributed exclusively by Caroline Records. In 1995, Caroline Records began hosting a web page for their Misfits catalog. A full discography is included below.

12" Releases

Although Beware was the first 12" by Plan 9, it was also distributed and marketed by several labels in Europe, and therefore not exclusively a Plan 9 release. Beginning after Beware, all Plan 9 12" releases were numbered sequentially, starting with the unreleased PL9-01 (the album was released on Ruby/Slash instead), and ending with PL9-11.

PLP9	The Misfits	Beware	01//1980
PL9-01	The Misfits	Walk Among Us	Unreleased
PL9-02	The Misfits	Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood	12//1983

PL9-04	Samhain	Initium	08//1984
PL9-05	Samhain	Unholy Passion	01//1985
PL9-06	The Misfits	Legacy Of Brutality	06//1985
PL9-07	Samhain	Samhain III November-Coming-Fire	02//1986
PL9-08	The Misfits	Evilive	07//1987
PL9-09	The Misfits	Misfits	10//1988
PL9-10	Samhain	Final Descent	10//1990 (Acetate)
PL9-11	Glenn Danzig	Black Aria	09//1992

Cassette Releases

Glenn numbered cassette release to match the numbers assigned to the 12" equivalent releases. In some cases, he combined two 12" releases onto one cassette.

PL9 CASS 02/3	The Misfits	Earth A.D. / Die, Die My Darling	1984
PL9 CASS 04	Samhain	Initium	1989
PL9 CASS 04/5	Samhain	Initium / Unholy Passion	1986
PL9 CASS 06	The Misfits	Legacy Of Brutality	06//1985
PL9 CASS 07	Samhain	Samhain III November-Coming-Fire	02//1986
PL9 CASS 08	The Misfits	Evilive	07//1987
PL9 CASS 09	The Misfits	Misfits	10//1988
PL9-MC10	Samhain	Final Descent	10//1990
PL9 CASS 11	Glenn Danzig	Black Aria	09//1992

CD Releases

Glenn started numbering Plan 9 CD releases based on the order in which they were pressed (CD1 and CD2 came out first) and then reverted to the standard ordering scheme used for the 12" and cassette releases. For this reason, CD04 and CD09 do not exist. Samhain's Unholy Passion was not released on CD.

PL9-CD1	The Misfits	Misfits	1986
PL9-CD2	Samhain	Initium	1987
PL9-CD02/3	The Misfits	Earth A.D.	04//1992, 1996
PL9-CD06	The Misfits	Legacy Of Brutality	10//1989
PL9-CD07	Samhain	Samhain III November-Coming-Fire	11//1989
PL9-CD08	The Misfits	Evilive	03//1997
PL9-CD10	Samhain	Final Descent	10//1990
PL9-CD11	Glenn Danzig	Black Aria	09//1992
