39/SMOOTH
39/Smooth is the debut studio album by American punk rock band Green Day, released on April 13, 1990, by Lookout Records on vinyl (black and green) and cassette. It is the band’s only studio album to feature original drummer John Kiffmeyer. Although it is currently out of print, 39/Smooth was later rereleased, along with the group's two previous extended plays Slappy, 1,000 Hours and the song “I Want to Be Alone” (from The Big One, a compilation album released by Flipside Records in 1990) on the 1991 compilation album 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours, which also used the same cover sleeve as 39/Smooth.

In early 1990, the label released Green Day’s first full album, 39/Smooth, with two other EP’s following later in the year, Slappy and Sweet Children; the latter disc features early recordings by Sweet Children for another label, Skene! Records. The following year, Lookout! Records combined the band’s previous releases (except Sweet Children) as 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Later that year saw the release of Green Day’s second album, Kerplunk, which sold 50,000 copies.
