Review
Green Day's second release easily slots into the rest of the band's initial efforts -- punky, poppy, sometimes a touch more heavy metal than might be thought. What's especially noteworthy even at this early date is how polished, even downright professional, everything sounds. Without sounding like a typical major label product from 1989, everything sounds great, clearly recorded and instantly engaging. The great leap forward five years later into the public consciousness wasn't as large as all that in the end, but like the rest of the band's earliest work, the four songs here are engaging rather than flat-out fantastic. The title track's the best of the bunch, but the immediately following "Dry Ice" isn't bad either, one of the most Buzzcocks-like numbers the group had recorded. "Only of You" and "The One I Want" are both fair enough, filling out the EP without adding much more to the proceedings. ~ Ned Raggett, Rovi| 1000 Homo DJs (1990 Album by 1000 Homo DJs) | |

Recording and release
1,000 Hours was recorded in 1988 while the band was still named "Sweet Children", and released in April 1989 on vinyl only, with several different colors of vinyl available [red, blue, green, purple, yellow, and clear] in limited quantities. Upon its release, it was also available with a pink cover [black vinyl only]. Shortly after it was recorded, the band changed their name to Green Day, despite the objections of Lookout Records' owner Lawrence "Larry" Livermore.
In 1991, all of the songs from 1,000 Hours were reissued on 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. 1,000 Hours remained in print on the Lookout! label until August, 2005 when Green Day removed their catalog from Lookout! Records.
Since March 24, 2009, 1,000 Hours (along with Slappy) has been back in print as a bonus to the vinyl reissue of the 39/Smooth album.
