“Project 1950” is back in BLACK! The expanded edition of the Misfits chart-topping “Project 1950” album now pressed on 180 gram BLACK VINYL for the first time ever. Featuring exclusive variant cover artwork by Tom Whalen (Mondo) in a retro style jacket, with MP3 download card inside. The Misfits special project showcasing punk covers of 1950's era rock ‘n’ roll classics assembles an all-star line-up to bring this creature to life! Misfits founding member Jerry Only frontlines the spiked jukebox on Bass and lead vocals for every track—along with Black Flag alum Dez Cadena utilizing an arsenal of guitars to achieve a dynamic that best suits each song, and much more… 60's pop-rock icon Ronnie Spector (known for timeless classics like "Be My Baby" and "Baby I love You”) makes a special guest appearance lending her inimitable vocals to "This Magic Moment" and "You Belong to Me". The expertise of Jimmy Destri (Blondie) shines on keyboards for re-workings of "Runaway" & "Great Balls of Fire”. Also featured is longtime Misfits & Ramones collaborator John Cafiero (Osaka Popstar) contributing melodic punk-pop backing vocals to "Dream Lover", "Monster Mash" and "Runaway”. Ed Manion (of Bruce Springsteen‘s E Street band) who has performed with a wide variety of artists—including 50’s icon Dion, provides saxophone for “Diana” and “Runaway”. The gamut of 50's era music has been reinterpreted along with a couple of 60's era hits that were must haves for this theme driven collection. Notably the highest charting release in the band’s entire legacy, “Project 1950” is presented in an all-new expanded edition featuring three \bonus tracks with Misfits drummer Eric “Chupacabra” Arce rounding out the lineup. All three songs have an underlying horror-centric common thread, and were newly recorded exclusively for the expanded release!
