Originally, the album was released in 1990 as 39 Smooth, but it was reissued in 1991 as a compilation album to include the band's two other EP's; Slappy, and 1000 Hours. This is the only Green Day album that Tre Cool did not play on since John Kiffmeyer had not yet left the band.
In 2007, Green Day re-released this album on Reprise Records, calling it a "remastered" version. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the album has sold 632,000 copies in the United States as of August, 2010.
New to the Green Day fandom, today is the perfect day to add this classic to your collection.
