Operater (Operater album)

Operater is the second EP/album by Operater. It was released on One Punch Records on vinyl and CD on July 1st, 1990, and on cassette July 3rd, 1990, due to shipping delays. The album was considered quite short, only being 21:23 in length, and only having 8 tracks. The album was meant to be a second EP, but the band had booked too large of an amount of studio time, causing them to record as many tracks as they could and turn it into an album. The band did not tour for the album, and it was a commercial failure, only selling 3,000 copies in 1990. The album is considered now by the band and other fans as the second EP. Four songs off of the album were re-recorded for the second Operater album, "Blitz", in 1991. "Jaked" was released on the 20th anniversary version of the album of the same name, in all 3 versions, demo, EP, and the "Jaked" album sessions recording.
