Green Day's first album release which was purely raw and contained punk energy. This record with the original drummer John Kiftmeyer was recorded in two days on a measly budget of $600. Apparently the founder of Lookout Records had Green Day audition for him in a tiny shack without power and twelve people holding candles for light.Track fourteen is a cover of Operation Ivy. This record contains songs from the bands Slappy and 1,000 Hours EP.

Essential Track: Disappearing Boy
