45 RPMs 7: Glenn Danzig - Who Killed Marilyn?

Who Killed Marilyn?

53
years ago today, on August 5, 1962, Norma Jeane Mortenson died and
became one of the great legends of Hollywood; her death was cloaked in mystery and many
theories as to its cause. Although
her life was glamorous to the outside world and by the standards of our
society, in private, her life was complicated and tragic. Norma Jeane had legally changed her name to Marilyn Monroe on February 23, 1956, in New York.

On March 25, 2015, World News Daily Report published an article
titled "Retired CIA Agent Confesses on Deathbed: 'I Killed Marilyn
Monroe.'" According to the article, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)
operative Normand Hodges completed 37 assassinations during his career — among them the killing of the Hollywood legend and long-rumored mistress of President John F. Kennedy. Although the report was picked up and covered by many news sources, it was later shown to be false by Snopes; however, it illustrates the ferver to attribute the event to part of a conspiracy.
Who Killed Marilyn?
Nineteen years after Monroe's death, Glenn Danzig released the single, Who Killed Marilyn?, on a 45 RPM record. Other versions of this song have been released by the Misfts (Legacy of Brutality, the Boxset, etc.), but the Glenn Danzig version recorded on this 45, along with the B-side, Spook City USA, is only available on this 45 and has never been released on CD. There were only 5000 copies pressed.

Who Killed Marilyn?
is classic punk at its best filled with effects backing the cheesy
sounding, crashing tune racing along with a frenzy to match that of the Monroe
conspiracy theories.
Marilyn is backed by the song, Spook City, but City could very easily have been an extension of Who Killed Marilyn?. The two songs are played one after the other on YouTube (link below).
. . . this makes for a startling effect as when the spindle protrudes through the spindle hole, there is a bizarre result.

These tracks were originally recorded with The Misfits in 1979, and they had one 12" "Who Killed Marilyn?"
EP created on acetate; but this proved to be too expensive for them to
produce at the time. In 1981 Glenn Danzig re-recorded two of the tracks,
playing all the instruments himself, and released it as this solo 7"
single.

An
interesting note about the packaging of this recording is that the hole
for the turntable spindle is on the nose of Monroe . . .
