Collection II
''Collection II'', also known as ''Misfits II'', a compilation album of songs by the American punk rock band Misfits. Released on November 14, 1995, it serves as a companion album to the band's previous compilation, ''Collection I''. Both compilations collect all the early singles and the entire '' Earth A.D./Wolfs Blood'' album, and are meant to complement ''Walk Among Us'' (not represented because Warner Bros. owns the rights) and ''Legacy of Brutality'' with little overlap. All the early singles are supposed to be represented, although alternative versions of some songs are used instead of the original releases. Album information ''Misfits II'' is controversial among fans because six of the tracks are not songs the Misfits recorded as a functioning band.
