文化面面觀

Kerplunk!

Kerplunk! is punk rock band Green Day's second full-length album, released in 1992 on the Lookout! Records label. As of August 2006, Kerplunk! has sold 2 million units in the US, and is certified 4x platinum worldwide. CD and Cassette versions of the album include Green Day's earlier Sweet Children EP, recorded in 1990 by Skene! Records.

In August 2005, Green Day pulled its pre-1994 music catalog from Lookout, reportedly due to unpaid royalties. It is not yet known whether or not there are plans to repress the album. However, the album is still in print in Europe, as there it has been distributed by Epitaph Europe.
