★ At the time, the band consisted of singer Glenn Danzig, guitarist Bobby Steele, bassist Jerry Only and drummer Arthur Googy.

★ However, there was a line-up change in October and so the planned album was scrapped.

★ The songs “London Dungeon”, “Horror Hotel”, “Ghouls Night out” and “Halloween” were released in 1981. The remaining recordings became demos for the 1982 album “Walk Among Us”.

★ In 2001, “12 Hits from Hell” should have been released on Caroline Records. However, Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only were dissatisfied with the layout of the packaging, the liner notes, the mix and the mastering. All distribution copies were destroyed, but some promo copies were preserved.
