The vinyl field comprises a novel Inexperienced Day flag and a purple necktie within the vein of the one featured within the American Fool art work.

American Fool revitalized Inexperienced Day after a number of years of dwindling gross sales within the wake of their mid-’90s breakthrough with the album Dookie. A type of punk rock opera about life in George W. Bush’s America, the mission was constructed on quite a lot of quick suites which have been then assembled into epics equivalent to “Jesus of Suburbia” and “Homecoming.” The end result was maybe the largest comeback album by any ‘90s band, with American Fool promoting six million copies within the U.S. alone, spawning 4 ubiquitous hit singles and even a Broadway musical.
