Production

The production of Plea for Peace was spearheaded by longtime fan and East Bay local Eric Yee. He approached various people for funds to produce a record of unreleased songs he had heard through Operation Ivy vocalist Jesse Michaels on cassette tape. He initially approached Murray Bowles, a long time scene veteran and photographer and Joel Wing, a local musician, who played in various East Bay bands such as Corrupted Morals and Dance Hall Crashers. The first side of the EP were recorded by Brian Edge at 924 Gilman Street on August 24, 1987,[1] while the songs on the second side were outtakes from Hectic and were recorded on November 30, 1987 (1987-11-30) at Dangerous Rhythm in Oakland, California.[1]
