When Black Flag released their first album Damaged in 1981, they recorded it with their fourth vocalist Henry Rollins. In fact, the band almost recorded an alternate version of the album with their third vocalist Dez Cadena. Dez switched to second guitar and Henry from State of Alert took over on vocals. They wouldn't release another album till 1984 but in between they put out two compilation albums, Everything Went Black in 1982 and The First Four Years in 1983. The first one was a two LP set that included three sides of previously unreleased alternate versions of songs with the first three vocalists. The second one contained tracks from their EPs but also featured the first three vocalists. This is an alternate version of Damaged with Dez which could've replaced these two compilation albums.

When the Misfits recorded their first album, it was actually not their first time doing so. They previously recorded two albums, the first being Static Age which was recorded in 1978 and released in 1996 and the second being 12 Hits From Hell which was recorded in 1980 and unofficially released in 2001 but has never been officially released. Static Age was 35 minutes long while 12 Hits From Hell and Walk Among Us are both about 25 minutes long. The former serves as a demo of the latter and they share six songs in common. I thought if we can't officially release 12 Hits From Hell, why not include the exclusive tracks as an expanded version on their first album? I used the single version of Where Eagles Dare.
