1 Bullet | We Are 138
2 Attitude | Hollywood Babylon

Format: 7" EP.
Pressing: 1st: Black vinyl copies with gatefold sleeve.
These bootlegs are amazingly similar to the original 1st
pressing with only very slight differences:
1) Front cover of original is silkscreened. Bootleg
copies are not silkscreened; the red and black
colors were printed at the same time. The black
and white colors on the bootleg are glossy, whereas
original sleeves are a matte white color with black
and red ink silk-screened over.
2) On the original, there are 4 to 5 intro grooves
before "Bullet" actually starts playing. Bootleg
copies have no more than 2 intro grooves.
3) Center labels on the original are glossy. Bootleg
labels are less glossy and the smaller text is
slightly blurrier.
4) Handwritten matrix etchings vary from original in
spacing.
2nd: Black or yellow vinyl copies released in UK with band
photo back cover and imitation insert. Distributed by
Sub Rosa.
3rd: Red vinyl copies with "Better Dead On Red" back cover
released in UK, although sleeve says West Germany.
4th: Red or black vinyl "Better Dead On Red" sleeve copies
released in Japan. Vinyl is identical to the official
pressing, except in the matrix etching: bootleg copies
include "MASTERDISK" in the matrix etching. Sleeve is
cardboard.
Session: [01//1978 C.I. Recording]
Notes: The imitation inserts included in the Listless Recordings
bootleg are often sold separately as real lyric sheets. The
bootleg sheet was apparently based upon a photocopy of the
original lyric sheet. The bootlegger then changed the color of
some of the graphics and re-typed the lyrics. Differences from
the original include:
1) Bootlegs include an obvious typographical error: "the
dint's gonna be" appears on the bootleg instead of "the
dirt's gonna be" - this is due to a small blood splotch
under the "r" in "dirt" on the original lyric which,
when photocopied in black and white, makes the word look
like "dint."
2) Misfits logo on bootleg is red instead of black.
3) Bullet hole in Kennedy's forehead on bootleg is red
instead of black.
4) Blood splatters on bootleg are larger and slightly
misplaced.
