Lookout! Records discography

The discography of Lookout! Records, an independent record label active from 1987 to 2012, consists of xx releases: xx studio albums, xx live albums, xx compilation albums, xx EPs, xx singles, xx video albums, and xx box sets.

Early releases

[edit]

The first release to bear the "Lookout! Records" name was the debut album by punk rock band the Lookouts, One Planet One People, released in April 1987.[1][2] No such record label existed at the time, but band leader Larry Livermore, who had financed the recording and manufacture of the album, "just slapped the name on there to make it look more 'official'", naming the fictitious label after his zine, Lookout!, which he had been self-publishing since 1984.[1] When he partnered with Maximumrocknroll staffer David Hayes in late 1987 to put out records by several punk rock bands associated with the 924 Gilman Street venue in Berkeley, California, Livermore convinced Hayes that they should use the name Lookout! Records for their fledgling label, believing it would benefit from the name recognition that Lookout! magazine and Livermore's Maximumrocknroll column ("Lookout! It's Lawrence Livermore!") had gained in the area. One Planet One People, which had not carried a catalog number, retroactively became the label's first release, while the first four records produced by the new partnership—EPs by the bands Corrupted Morals, Operation Ivy, Crimpshrine, and Isocracy—were assigned catalog numbers 2–5.

Formats

[edit]

Lookout!'s early releases were phonograph records, in the 7-inch format for EPs and the LP record format for full-length albums. This was primarily out of financial necessity, since records (also known as "vinyl") were less expensive to manufacture than Compact Cassettes or compact discs (CDs), the two then-dominant formats for music, and had the ancillary benefit of being perceived as "warmer" in sound and less commercial in nature by punk rock fans. Lookout! would continue to issue releases on vinyl for the rest of the label's lifespan. The first Lookout! release to also be issued on cassette was Operation Ivy's lone studio album, 1989's Energy (LK 10), and the label began issuing its full-length releases in this format as well.

Its first CD release was the Mr. T Experience's 1990 album Making Things with Light (LK 37); additional tracks were added to the CD version both to take advantage of the format's longer running time and to justify its higher sale price relative to the LP and cassette versions. The CD version outsold the other formats, causing Lookout! to embrace compact discs; moving forward, the label's full-length releases and many of its EPs would be released on CD as well as on LP and cassette. CD reissues of Lookout!'s highest-selling earlier releases were prepared, starting with Green Day's first album, 39/Smooth (LK 22), which was repackaged with additional tracks under the title 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Energy received a similar treatment, being repackaged with additional tracks under the title Operation Ivy. Both reissues retained the original albums' respective catalog numbers, and—along with a 1992 CD reissue of Green Day's second album, Kerplunk (LK 46), also with added tracks—became Lookout!'s highest-selling releases and remained so for over ten years. As CDs replaced cassettes as the dominant format in the market, Lookout! eventually ceased issuing releases on cassette; its last release in this format was Black Fork's 1997 album Rock for Loot (LK 172).

Re-releases

[edit]

On some occasions Lookout! acquired the rights to re-release a band's earlier material. First was the Mr. T Experience; after the positive sales of Making Things with Light, Lookout! re-released the band's first album, Everybody's Entitled to Their Own Opinion (LK 39, originally released on Disorder Records). Similarly, after releasing Screeching Weasel's My Brain Hurts (LK 50), Lookout! re-released the band's prior album, Boogadaboogadaboogada! (LK 062, originally on Roadkill Records). Upon signing Avail in 1994, Lookout! re-released their 1992 debut Satiate (LK 82), which the band had originally released on their Catheter-Assembly imprint. Having released two albums by the Queers, in 1994 Lookout! acquired the rights to the band's 1990 debut, Grow Up (LK 90, originally on Shakin' Street Records). Pinhead Gunpowder's Carry the Banner EP (LK 132) was also a re-release, having been previously issued by Too Many Records. In 1996 and 1997, after releasing several more albums by the Mr. T Experience, Lookout! re-released their second album, 1988's Night Shift at the Thrill Factory (LK 144, originally on Sixth International Records), and their 1989 EP Big Black Bugs Bleed Blue Blood (LK 145, originally on Rough Trade Records), the latter as an expanded CD with numerous additional tracks. Upon signing the Groovie Ghoulies in 1996, Lookout! swiftly re-released their first two albums, 1989's Appetite for Adrenochrome (LK 148, originally on Crimson Corpse Records) and 1994's Born in the Basement (LK 149, originally on Green Door Recording Co.).

Joint and subsidiary releases

[edit]

In 1995 Lookout! partnered with another independent label, Kill Rock Stars, for a compilation that would serve as both labels' hundredth releases: A Slice of Lemon (LK 100/KRS 100). Later that year Lookout! released Citizen Fish's album Millennia Madness (Selected Notes from the Late 20th Century) (LK 123) jointly with the band's own imprint, Bluurg Records (FISH 24). Wat Tyler's 1995 compilation album Tummy (LK 125) was another joint release, this time with Rugger Bugger Discs (SEEP 14) and Gap Recordings (GAP 025). A partnership with Canadian independent label Mint Records was also established that year, with the aim of allowing both labels to take advantage of the others' distribution networks to increase Lookout's distribution in Canada and Mint's in the United States. This resulted in series of joint releases with Mint, including releases by Cub, the Potatomen, the Mr. T Experience, the Smugglers, the Hi-Fives, and Pansy Division. Other joint releases included the Crumbs 1997 single "Shakespeare" (LK 166), released in partnership with Recess Records (RECESS #35), and a reissue of the Phantom Surfers' 1994 album The Exciting Sounds of Model Road Racing (LK 183) in partnership with its original label, Hobby Hut Raceways (HH 124).

Releases sharing catalog numbers

[edit]

Canceled releases

[edit]

In the label's history, three releases were planned and assigned catalog numbers but were canceled, and their catalog numbers were never assigned to other releases. First was a planned EP by the band East Bay Mud in 1990, which would have been LK 33. The second was a planned split EP with the bands Rancid and Avail in 1994 (LK 083),
