1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours

About

1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours is a compilation album comprising early recordings by American rock band Green Day, released October 1, 1991, on Lookout Record. Often erroneously referred to as the band's debut album, the compilation combines the band's actual debut 39/Smooth (1990) and its first two EPs 1,000 Hours (1989) and Slappy (1990) (all currently out of print), as suggested by the amalgamation of the titles of the debut album and two EPs for the resulting compilation album. The album includes one cover, "Knowledge" (originally from the Slappy EP), which was originally by influential California punk band Operation Ivy, whose singer, Jesse Michael, contributed the artwork for the album. The cover art features the same image from 39/Smooth. Lookout re-released the album in 2004 with special limited packaging and all-new enhanced CD-ROM feature, including live performances and picture. The album was re-issued in the same packaging in 2007 through Reprise Records after Green Day pulled the album, along with the remainder of the band's catalog previously released through Lookout, from the label in August 2005 due to unpaid royaltie. .
