Title: Operation Ivy – 1988 “Energy” Demo
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1988, Rock, Ska Punk, Berkeley, CA
Condition: New

Cultural Facts:

  1. Scene Ecology: Captures the Gilman Street ecosystem in real time—teen-run DIY rules, all-ages ethics, and a scene that policed commercial behavior.

  2. Studio Lore: Demo-era recordings were functional documents—made to get shows, trade tapes, and tighten arrangements before studio budgets existed.

  3. Media Narrative: The band’s short lifespan turned every scrap into canon; later Rancid/Green Day success made early Op Ivy artifacts feel like origin files.
