The Misfits' special project showcasing punk covers of 1950s-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 '60s 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 never-before released bonus tracks with Misfits drummer Eric "Chupacabra" Arce rounding out the lineup. All three songs ("Witchcraft", "Daughter of Darkness" & "Devil in Disguise") have an underlying horror-centric common thread, and are newly recorded exclusively for this release! A monster lurking in the mind of Jerry Only for years is unleashed as Misfits Records presents "Project 1950".The Expanded CD with all-new bonus tracks, newly expanded packaging art by Tony Squindo (Metallica), free poster, and extensive liner notes is in stores and online now.
