Reprise Records is set to re-release two of Green Day's earliest recordings, '1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours' and 'Kerplunk!'.

Both were originally released on Lookout! Records, and acted as the springboard for the band's chart domination in the 1990s and beyond.

The 19-track '1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours' is a collection of tunes from Green Day's first album – 1990's '39/Smooth' – as well as tidbits from various early EPs. 'Kerplunk!' was the first album to feature drummer Tré Cool, and has since become one of the highest-selling indie records of all time.

Reprise – the label which helped launch Green Day's commercial career via 1994's 'Dookie' record – will release the two records in the US on January 9 next year.
