VERY RARE first pressing of Green Day's 3rd EP Sweet Children EP Original 1 piece folded cover MFTD & Dist by TCI Skene! 10 Cover is in near perfect condition, no tears, folds or crunches, no ringwear Record is in EX++ condition, never played. Sweet Children is the third EP by the American punk rock band Green Day. It was released in the August 1990 through Skene! Records The EP is a collection of some of the band's earliest songs that they were still playing live at the time. It was recorded in 2 hours on July 5, 1990 at 6ft Under in Minneapolis, Minnesota while the band were on a brief break from their summer tour,[2] and released on seven-inch vinyl. Due to a typo on Green Day's website, many believe that this record was released in 1987, but this is not true. What makes it believable is the rough sound and poor mixing of the recordings. The EP was released on Minneapolis-based indie label Skene! Records. These were the last recordings drummer John Kiffmeyer would appear on. Shortly after the end of the tour, he left the band to attend college. Also of note, "My Generation" features a line from the film Blue Velvet: "Heineken? Fuck that shit!", said by the primary antagonist Frank Booth (although it's not the actual audio sample). There are five different pressings of the EP (some limited quantities included two different variations of red vinyl). The first four have been out of print since its inclusion on the CD issue of Green Day's second album Kerplunk in 1992. Because of this, it has since become a valuable and sought-after item among collectors and Green Day fans alike. The first pressing's cover is a picture of Mike Dirnt's leg during a concert. This is what is for sale here, first run's 1 of only 1,500 copies On the first day of the EP's release, it sold 493 copies
