Description
‘Hectic’ is the debut EP by American ska punk band Operation Ivy, released in January 1988 through Lookout! Records.
‘Hectic’ is credited as one of the first ska-core records. In 1991, all 6 tracks from ‘Hectic’ were later released on the self-titled compilation album, which also featured all the tracks from ‘Energy’ and two tracks from the ‘Turn It Around!’ compilation.
Larry Livermore, founder of Lookout! Records, has said that Lookout! was founded solely to release an Operation Ivy record. Lookout! Records was in fact started with simply a PO Box in order to release records by Livermore’s own band, The Lookouts. This was said to emphasize Operation Ivy’s importance in Lookout! Records’ catalog.
