 After debuting it to their fans in the Berkeley, California area and receiving much approval from the critical 924 Gilman Street crowd, the band packed up in a cramped, converted Book Mobile and headed east.
 Green Day developed a fan base on the east coast, behind the determined grass root efforts of lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong.

 The album officially includes only 12 tracks, but the versions released on CD and cassette also include the 4 tracks from the "Sweet Children" EP.
