The History of Static Age:

In January and February 1978 the Misfits recorded seventeen songs at C.I. Recordings in New York City.. Because of the time constraints they recorded the songs live in the studio with only a few takes each and very few overdubs. They mixed fourteen of them for their proposed first album, to be titled Static Age.
However, the band were unable to find a record label interested in releasing the album, and instead released four of the tracks ("Bullet", "We Are 138", "Attitude", and "Hollywood Babylon") as the "Bullet" single in June 1978 on Plan 9 Records

While on tour in Canada that October Coma quit the band, followed by Mr. Jim's departure at the end of the tour. The Static Age recordings were shelved as the band recruited new members Bobby Steele and Joey Image and shifted their style in a more horror film-inspired direction. None of the remaining Static Age tracks were released during the early era of the band, though a re-recorded version of "Teenagers from Mars" appeared on the "Horror Business" single in 1979, and a live version of "We Are 138" appeared on the Evilive EP in 1982.

The Misfits box set in 1996 presented the complete Static Age album for the first time, eighteen years after it was recorded.
