About
Walk Among Us is the eighth release from the American horror punk band The Misfits. The band's first full-length album to be released (although it was actually the 3rd to be recorded, after Static Age and 12 Hits from Hell), it was originally co-released by Ruby and Slash Records as JRR804 in March 1982. It was the product of a January 1982 recording session at Quad Teck in Los Angeles, California in which Glenn Danzig, for the most part, remixed previously recorded songs, overdubbing additional guitar tracks. Danzig also recorded new vocals for "Vampira" and mixed for the first time the live recording of "Mommy Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight?" that was recorded at the same time as the Evilive release. The majority of the songs were originally recorded in a variety of sessions throughout early 1981 at the Mix-O-Lydian Studio in Boonton, New Jersey. The dates of these sessions are unknown, but they were all mixed at one time. "Vampira", "Devils Whorehouse", and "Astro Zombies" were recorded and mixed separately at Mix-O-Lydian in August of 1981. "Hatebreeders" was recorded in June of 1981 at Newsoundland in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. "Mommy Can I Go Out & Kill Tonight?", the only live track on the album, was recorded on December 17, 1981 at the Ritz in New York, New York. The album cover combines imagery from the films The Angry Red Planet and Earth vs. the Flying Saucers with a photograph of the band's lineup at the time of the its release. Left to right: Jerry Only, Doyle, Glenn Danzig, and Arthur Googy. The first LP pressing has a pink cover with a pink logo, while the second pressing's cover is purple with a pink logo. Reissues since 1988 in all formats have featured the purple cover with a green logo. Strangely, the CD insert contains a picture of the 1979 lineup of the band with Bobby Steele and Joey Image, who didn't play on the album, instead of actual performers Doyle and Googy. However, recent reissues of the CD have in fact contained Doyle and Googy in the insert, as opposed to Steele and Image.
