Danzig 4p - Album Title

Album Title

In various 1994-95 interviews, Danzig explained that he did not wish to give the album a title, as he felt that a logo or printing would ruin the artwork, which he wished to stand on its own. After pressure from representatives from American Recordings, who did not want to release an unlabeled album for fear that sales would plummet, Danzig relented and allowed a sticker reading "Danzig 4" to be placed on the album's cellophane wrapper. To the right of the "4" he added a tiny letter "p", in reference to the Four P Movement. The following information on the album title was supplied by American Recordings in 1994:

"The Four P movement is an alleged Satanic cult operating throughout the United States. An offshoot of the notorious Process Church of the Final Judgment, the Four P movement takes its name from the Process' original sigil: a swastika-like form composed of four interlocking Ps. The Four P movement was supposedly begun in 1967, and has been connected to a number of ritual killings across the country, including the Son of Sam killings in New York and the Manson Family in California."

Though it is properly titled Danzig 4p, the band members themselves usually refer to it as Danzig 4. The CD itself and the labels on the vinyl LP also state the title as being simply Danzig 4.
