Newer Green Day fans can catch up on the band’s history when the punk rockers’ first two albums are reissued on December 19.

The trio’s Reprise Records label will re-release 1991’s “1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours” and 1992’s “Kerplunk!” – both of which were independently released on Lookout! Records.

“1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours” will feature bonus material including live performances from 1990-91, a radio interview from the same time, show flyers, and handwritten lyrics by Billie Joe Armstrong.

Green Day released their major-label debut “Dookie” to overwhelming success in 1994. It went on to sell 7.8 million copies in the U.S. to date.
