Green Day's Nimrod Set To Receive 20th Anniversary Limited Edition Vinyl Reissue

Originally released on October 14, 1997 through Reprise Records, Nimrod was recorded in Los Angeles, CA and produced by Rob Cavallo. The critically acclaimed album debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Chart and has since sold over two million copies and has been certified Double Platinum by the RIAA. The album yielded the acoustic hit "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)," which became a massive hit around the world and soundtracked the finales of several high profile television series, most notably Seinfeld.

Green Day is currently on the second U.S. leg of their Revolution Radio world tour.
