Now I want to see how high THIS Green Day 7″ will go

By Tre | Published 09/30/2011

Earlier in the week I posted my friend’s Green Day 7″ auction in hopes to bump up the final price cause homeboy owes me some loot. It ended up getting an unprecedented $212.50, far above what this record goes for on black vinyl on average.

I am fucking speechless… The colour copies of this are on popsike for like $30-$80 (with very few exceotions when this went for over $300 still ON COLOUR!!) The only explanation as to why this is happening that I can come up with is that there are two teenage dudes with their highschool girlfriends going “I won’t do it unless you get me a Laytonville Slappy pressing”.. Right record, right time?

Well, vinylcat here has the far more legit green vinyl version, also with that Laytonville address on the back, and I wanna see what it goes for. Don’t you? This is fun. Kinda like Murder She Wrote. Oh wait, Green Day, green vinyl! I get it now!

Rancid test, right on through to you.

Since theres only 5 of these and classicsbysteve.cali is located in Emeryville I’m going to assume he or she is a former Lookout employee or someone close to one. I remember seeing another of these for sale a while back in a bunch of auctions by Lookout records and it went for a pretty penny. Im not sure its a $250 record though and plus theres a reserve so who knows what the seller is actually trying to get for it.
I always loved the production and songwriting on this record. It sounds so much different than any other Rancid release aside from the Radio 7″ (which is my fav). Maybe one day Rancid will put out the whole recording session that was done with this so I dont have to listen to a crappy bootleg anymore.

Operation Ivy was one of the first ska influenced bands that I ever heard. I remember a friend that was really into a lot of the East Bay bands got their record and I was hooked! It was just a short time later that I got a promo cassette of the first Mighty Mighty Bosstones record and then saw them opening for Token Entry at Club Baby Head in Providence.

I definitly went through a ska phase, but never dressed the part. I did ‘skank to the rythem’ many times though.

This is an OG Lookout Records first press with the old Laytonville address on the back and its complete with the lyric sheet.
