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.
