Green Day's earliest album releases will be reissued on vinyl next month, according to Punknews.org. The band's current label home, Reprise Records, will release 12-inch vinyl versions of the trio's first two independent albums, 39/Smooth and Kerplunk!, on March 24th. The discs were previously reissued on CD in 2007, but represent the first vinyl editions of the records since Green Day took them back from Lookout! Records in 2005, the label that originally issued them.

My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way said in a new interview with MTV News that the punk act is scaling things back on its next album, which will follow up 2006's heavily produced concept record, The Black Parade. Way explained, "When we had just finished Black Parade, I think doing that record made us feel like we could do everything. And so I think the way to top a record that already kind of does everything is to not do everything."
