This was a joy to watch..unbelievable episode.
Hey Curtis, The Fits always loved playing Boston.
EVILIVE Came out just for the "Fiend Club" Then he did a Public release, Different cover, then he had 33 records left over, so he did the "3 Pack" EVILIVE 11 sets of 3 all numbered.
@@eerievon2946 is this the real Eerie Von? If so, you’re a legend, sir. Thank you for all the content throughout the decades.
My favorite is also The German press 'wolfsblood' very proud to own a copy. you have one amazing collection mate. My Misfits collection is represses and bootlegs now. sold all my originals to feed the kids and pay rent back in the early 1990s :(
I'm from Germany and that's all I ever saw: the AGR versions of EAD/Wolfsblood and the Evilive 12". I originally never picked up the german EAD/WB, because I thought the cover was too ugly :D
My wife and I just met this guy in San Diego. Thanks Curtis for giving us info on how to have a good time in SD!
Curtis was always rumored to be bootlegging Misfits records in the late 80's. His mailorder catalog was FULL of $30, $40, even $50 boots. He was the most reliable source for ordering Misfits bootlegs. Where there's smoke there's fire - hey! Isn't that a Slapshot lyric?
He made a tape off Glenn's original tapes
That’s definitely an impressive collection
This dude had a radio show back in the day and had Glenn on…I think Samhain was already going…but all the suburban punk and hardcore kids anxiously waited for the show because supposedly Curtis was gonna play rare Misfits shit from either a tape or a DAT that Glenn had sent him plus do an interview with Glenn over the phone. Long story short…he segued the songs into each other so we didn’t get a clean recording of any of the good stuff like Return Of The Fly and Attitude, which wasn’t as available to us suburban hodads. Some of that shit was hard to find until the box set. Bummer.
I remember that interview , Glenn said he was lost or something like that lol good memories
@@tommyconancoates7097I think Glenn was trying to make it to the studio, but didn't make it. I think he did the interview from a pay phone. Pay phone.
😊😊😊
is this filmed in his store? are all those Misfits records just sitting there like that in his store?
i got into The Misfits back around 88 when i was still in high school, and as one does i started learning about their early singles and stuff that at that time was still not available on any of the existing albums. so i started collecting records, primarily because of The Misfits because up to that point i had only ever owned cassettes. but one problem was at the time i knew the Misfits had a bunch of old 45s but there was really no info i knew of as to how many or what was what, so i started primarily just buying a bunch of bootlegs. if it had a song i did not recognize i bought it, some of them were the look alike bootlegs and many were just obviously made up BS with a random assortment of tracks on them.
by the early 90s i had real copies of 3 Hits, Halloween, Horror Business and Beware, as well as a Samhain Unholy Passion. after that yeah things started getting too expensive for me and honestly i did not care. i just wanted the music, so i was more than happy with those look alike bootlegs as long as they had the artwork and sounded fine. i ended up selling my real stuff about 15 years ago just because it was getting to valuable and i was too poor to properly care for that stuff or at least that is how i felt. i dont really regret it, other than maybe for financial reasons because they would have sold for even more now, but im really not into greed. i am still perfectly content with my bootleg copies and hell if i started collecting today i might not even bother with those as all those tracks have been officially released now between the old box set and collection two. now im more concerned with some cool pictures of the band, im pissed off about that book with all the great pics that got pulled immediately and now it is impossible to find and super expensive. shit is never easy with this band.
Glenn’s signature changed over the years. That’s legit his signature from back in the day but now it is much more scribbly.
guy is rough as hell with some very rare expensive records
Every hoarded copy of a record is just one less in the hands of a person who would love to have it. Why do you need multiple copies of things?!
Glenn hates Curtis now 😂
I envy you
