Lore & Background
It describes how the album *Walk Among Us* was recorded across multiple studios, including Mix-O-Lydian in Boonton, New Jersey, where the single 'Halloween' was produced by August 1981. The text notes that the track 'Mommy, Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight?' was recorded live at the Ritz on December 17, 1981, and that overdubbing occurred at Quad Teck in Los Angeles in January 1982. It also mentions that Glenn Danzig expressed displeasure with the original cover art's colors during a 2009 interview with Joe Matera, stating he 'flipped out' because it was not printed in red, black, and orange as intended.
In Their Own Story
In March 1982, Ruby Records and Slash Records released *Walk Among Us*, the first full-length album by the Misfits. Although recorded third after *Static Age* (1978) and *12 Hits from Hell* (1980), it was their debut LP. The release initially featured a pink background with a pink logo on the US pressing. A second pressing soon followed, retaining the pink logo but switching the background to purple. By 1988, reissues introduced a green logo against the purple background. In 2018, Earache Records reissued the album with a catalog number of MOSH666, featuring six limited-run variants including 'Devil's' Purple and 'Skull' White, alongside a pink background with a green logo.
