Kerplunk! (1992) |
1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours is a collection of early recordings by American punk rock band Green Day. Although it is often referred to as the group's first album, this is not factually correct. Their first album was 39/Smooth, whereas 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours includes that album in its entirety as well as two complete EPs and a track from a previous compilation album.
Initially released in 1991 by Lookout! Records (despite the 1990 copyright date on the album), the label re-issued the album in a remastered form in 2004. In August 2005, Green Day pulled this album, as well as all of their other material released through the label, from Lookout! due to unpaid royalties.[1] It was reissued by Reprise Records, who Green Day has been with since leaving Lookout!, on January 9, 2007.[2] Note that in Europe, the album was released by Epitaph Europe, and has remained in print.
1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours saw regional success in California, and has continuously sold since the band has broken through the mainstream. The album has gone gold, having sold 585,000 units in the US as of November 2006.[3]

[edit] Notes
- In the list of personnel for the album, John Kiffmeyer is credited for drums and lyrics and Al Sobrante is responsible for photography. Actually, they are both the same person (John's nick name is Al Sobrante).
- In the liner notes, "Knowledge" is the only song without lyrics printed. It also says that the song was used without permission, and was left uncredited.
- "Going to Pasalacqua" is thus named after Passalacqua Funeral Home in Benicia, California in reference to a boy throwing his life away for a girl he loves.
