  Overdub:   + Doyle:      overdubbed guitar
             + Jerry Only: overdubbed bass
  Notes:     In October 1994, Jerry and Doyle overdubbed new bass and
             guitar tracks to make up for the poor sound quality of the 
             original recording, as documented by Jerry in Close-Up #22, a
             Swedish magazine.  Many of these new recordings were played
             during radio interviews in 1995.

             + Unknown:      drums  (songs 1, 3-5)
  Notes:     Although this is not a Misfits recording, it comes close.  Jerry
             and Glenn spent an evening at Studio Zero and got up on stage to 
             perform some cover songs with their friends.  The first song was
             performed without either Jerry or Glenn, although they both 
             appeared in the audience.  "Peppermint Twist" was originally 
             performed by Joey Dee And The Starliters and "I Wanna Be Your 
             Dog" was originally recorded by The Stooges.  "Trash" and 
             "Vietnamese Baby" were New York Dolls songs.  The drummer Dave 
             later auditioned for The Misfits when they were considering 
             replacing Joey Image.  This video is owned by Bobby Steele and 
             has not been distributed.

             sources of this show.  The common version was shot from the 
             back of the club at crowd level.  The second was shot from

    Skulls (instrumental) | Wolfs Blood | Halloween | London Dungeon

  Format:    Audio.
  Time:      14 minutes.
  Notes:     The last three songs include vocals, although it is difficult

             Place.  Jed's Place was the original name of Tupelo's, the club
             at which The Misfits performed on 10/17/1982.  When they returned 
             to New Orleans on 01/30/1983, they played at a different club.  
             In Jerry Only's words, "The door of the club faced north, and it 
             was really long, underneath a freeway."  The name of this 
             second club is unknown.
