1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours is a collection of early recordings by American punk rock band Green Day, released in 1991. 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.

The 39/Smooth portion of the compilation included one cover, "Knowledge", which was originally by influential California punk band Operation Ivy, whose singer, Jesse Michaels, contributed the artwork for the album.

The album was re-released in 2007 with special limited packaging and all new CD-rom features, including live performances and pictures.

Release

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 on CD on January 9, 2007 by Reprise Records, who Green Day has been with since leaving Lookout!.[2] Note that in Europe, the album was already re-released by Epitaph Europe, and has remained in print. It was reissued on vinyl on March 24, 2009 by Reprise in a package containing the original 10-song 39/Smooth LP along with reissues of the 1,000 Hours and Slappy EPs.[3] On the 2009 reissues, the song "I Want to Be Alone" is omitted.

Reception

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 sold 585,000 units in the US as of November 2006.[4]
