BraveWords.com has received the following press release:

The MISFITS coffin box set is the first gold release in the band’s legendary career. The comprehensive collection of vintage material including nearly every recording from the Misfits first single, (1977’s 'Cough Cool'), through 1983’s groundbreaking Earth AD album, is something no Fiend should be without, and it shows… Having sold over half a million discs in the US alone, the Misfits box set from Caroline Records is now officially certified gold by the RIAA marking the first gold release from the legendary Misfits! Congratulations go out to all involved and a special thanks to you, the fiends, for making it happen.

To commemorate the historic event, Jerry Only has personally designed and overseen construction of a unique coffin shaped RIAA certified gold plaque for the box set, standing 2 & ½ feet tall! Making it even more special, he’s designed this plaque exclusively for Official Fiend Club members. “I wouldn’t have it any other way…” stated Only.

As a token of appreciation for the undying loyalty and support of the fiends, Jerry intends to extend this option to Official Fiend Club members exclusively. If you’re looking for the ultimate high-end Misfits collectible for your crypt, look no further. This is it, made for you and you alone, (literally).

At the moment only three hand made prototypes exist. Each unique to the other, made direct from the founding fiend’s blueprints and specs, with production overseen by Jerry Only personally. Not only will Official Fiend Club members have the exclusive opportunity to get one, but Fiend Club members even have the final say on which of the three prototypes will make it through to production!

If you’re a Fiend Club member, head over to the Official Misfits Fiend Club website to check out the three prototypes in detail, along with blueprints penned by Jerry himself. Only Fiend Club members can vote and when the vote is in, only Fiend Club members will have the ability to order. These special plaques will be custom made to order, in a limited edition, individually approved and signed by Jerry Only, and each personally engraved in your own name. Pricing is still to be determined but as these are individually hand made, it’s anticipated the final plaques will be priced in approximate proportion with the average electric guitar manufactured in the US. Don't miss this very rare and very limited opportunity to add an official RIAA certified gold Misfits box set coffin shaped plaque to your collection!
