Box-Set [Box] by Misfits (Punk) (The) (CD, Feb-1996, 4 Discs, Caroline)

I love the uniqueness of the gift. I bought this for my 21 year old son. He is unique also. It was exactly as described and I have no problems with the item at all.

You cant go wrong with old misfits. Its a defining addition to a powerful collection of raw punk. a must own. obviously

The way I see it if you wanna build a Misfits collection either as a newbie to the band or as someone (like me) looking to replace the old cassettes, The best thing you can do is buy Walk Among Us and The Box Set and then if you want the "In the Doorway" single that was sneakily put onto the Static Age cd (sold AFTER the box set) just pay .99 cents to download it off the internet.
This will get you most of the essential Misfits material, and then, if you want, you can start trying to track down all the rare vinyl etc.
Yes, The Box Set is pricy but even if you pay $60 for it, it is still much cheaper than buying all the individual cd's PLUS if you want the rare outtakes etc. you will only find them here.
Anyway here is what you get:
Collection 1
Collection 2
Legacy of Brutality
Evillive
Earth A.D.
The Sessions Disc
Static Age
Now even you payed $10 a disc (and you won't find them that cheap new)your still getting The Sessions Disc for free.
Trust me, before I bought the boxset I did the math several times!
Anyway, I'm not gonna argue about which discs are better but I will say that almost every Misfits release has something unique on it.

A Message to the Newbie: Make sure you buy Walk Among Us too...It's one of the best Misfits albums!!!

Another message to the Newbie: Don't waste your money on any of the post Danzig Mifits...it's really not the Misfits

This box set is a must for any Misfits fan! Even if you own all the CDs from the Glenn Danzig era, this compilation includes a lot of exclusive stuff you won't find anywhere else! And it all comes in a very stylish and appropriate Coffin-Shaped Box with faux-velour lining wherein sit the 2 Double-CD cases, the exclusive fired-enamel "Fiends Club" badge, and the 28-page booklet which includes extensive liner notes from Eerie Von, a track listing for each disc, complete lyrics for 50 of their best songs, a complete discography from 1977-1995, and tons of exclusive pictures and memorabilia. All-In-All, everything you could possibly ask for and more! As a collector, I chose to purchase the original and rare 1st printing release, which has been long out-of-print and therefore highly desirable. There have been follow-up releases of this boxed set, but with some changes; most notably in a slightly inferior quality to the product's contents, like a more cheaply made Coffin Box and "Fiend's Club" badge. So this review covers the original 1st printed edition only, as I feel the later editions should be reviewed separately due to the differences in quality. So if you are a serious Misfits fan and/or a music collector, my advice is to put your money on the original, out-of-print 1996 Caroline Records Coffin Box set.

This is a really great collection for anyone that's a fan of the Danzig era Misfits. It covers most all their studio releases and even songs that were not released until after the band split up.
There are multiple versions of many of their most popular songs including Hybrid Moments, Skulls, Astro Zombies, Halloween, Cough/Cool, She, etc. There are also live versions of several songs but I was disappointed that there is not a live version of Hybrid Moments or Last Caress(only one version of Last Caress).
The box set includes a fiend club pin and a book with lyrics, pictures, and an extremely brief "history" of the Misfits. The lyrics are nice to have but so much more could have been written about the band and most of the pictures are overlaid with the lyrics which severely detracts from the pictures themselves.
If you aren't a hardcore collector that has to have every individual CD or Vinyl release, this collection is what you want. It will save you alot of time spent searching for and buying albums to cover all their releases. That being said I still think the retail price on this box set is too high. In my opinion at that price the set should have included an actual book or more of the bootleg recordings, of which there are many. I suggest watching Ebay or checking Amazon to find this collection at a dicounted price. I was able to purchase my new, still sealed box set for $20 less than retail price.

I bought it cause im a Misfits fan, but the seller don't shipped it and don't didn't refund me too!!!

This set is complete. The Fiend Club badge is dope, real metal, not the crappy tin stuff you find at places like Hot Topic, plus it's made in the US!
I am an avid Misfits fan and will cherish this set always!

the box set was a gift the person loved it i loved it the shipping was fast it was great will buy from again

As with almost anything Danzig-related, this box set is awesome. The only puzzling thing for me is why the track "In the Doorway" was not included on the version of "Static Age" that is included with the set. The track does appear on a version released later. Outside of that minor disappointment, the set is a very thorough look at the finest momenets of the Misfits career.

I dislike the fact it did not arrive. The item looked as though it was of good quality, but the seller decided not to send it to me after i had paid. I liked the fact the box set was well priced and in good condition but disliked the fact that i am still yet to receive the item.

if you like the misfits, even a little bit, you can't go wrong with this set! (includes lyrics to 53 songs too!)

Okay, I really didn't get anything NEW out of this. Over the years I've picked up the albums and the collections (really its hard to tell the difference between what was an album, released while the band was active and what was a collection put together after Glenn went to Samhain and the other two lived in their parents' basements for a decade or two). BUT here's the thing with Misfits fans. We'll pretty much give in to the marketing and anything with the logo or album images will find their way to our homes. So year, while there were only about 6 new things on the box set for me, the presentation was everything. The coffin design, Fiend Club button, red faux velvet interior, and booklet gives the fan and collector a sense of completion, and maybe even in a geeky way, a sense of accomplishment.
