Thanks so much! =) It's really interesting interview, I think it was definitely hard time for them...

Anyone know what Mike was on about when he talked about how John Kiffmeyer allowed something to be written on the 39/Smooth booklet/sleeve without him and Billie knowing, that they weren't happy about? Something that Billie and Mike didn't agree with that pigeon-holed the band.

I assume it was some anti-major label statement or something like that, but I'd be interested to know what it was that was written on there. Does anyone know?

I do more or less. It's many years since I read it and my copy is in a loft at the other end of the country (along with original 1000 hours and slappy e.p's on vinyl) but very roughly on the 39/Smooth inlay was printed a letter to lookout expressing interest in the band from some label - can't remember which one - and then below it a reply from John saying something along the lines of 'you wish you could get your hands on a band as cool as green day for your washed up label - it's not going to happen' - something like that - and I can't remember what else...

Wow I wasn't expecting to get an answer, thanks very much for the info.

LOL no wonder Mike and Billie were annoyed about that. What a bloody liberty!
