Blank Records (11)

Blank Records was an independent record label that was founded in 1977 by Glenn Danzig as a means to distribute music by his newly formed band The Misfits. However, after only one release, The Misfits' first single Cough/Cool b./w. She in 1977, Polygram Records wanted to use the same name for the sub-label Blank Records (2). Danzig traded Polygram the rights to the name for studio time, which The Misfits used to record the Static Age album. Needing a new name for the label, Danzig decided on Plan 9, a reference to the Ed Wood, Jr. science fiction film Plan 9 from Outer Space. The label continued to release material by The Misfits, as well as a solo 7" from Glenn Danzig and his post-Misfits band Samhain under the name Plan 9 until 1995. For unofficial releases using the identity of this label, see Blank Records (13).
