Often revered as one of the most important debut albums of all time, Weezer’s “blue” album celebrates 30 years with an extensive Super Deluxe boxset featuring four 12-inch 180-gram LPs, a 10-inch EP, and 7-inch.
The album has been newly remastered from the original analog tapes, and the set includes 50 tracks, 36 of which were previously unreleased, including 8 Kitchen Tape Demos, 22 early practices and live recordings, 6 BBC radio recordings (2 never broadcasted), and 4 tracks from their LMU sessions.
Karl Koch updates the history of the album with new liner notes in issue #18 of the Weezine, along with laying out all of the artwork throughout the box set filled with unreleased photos.
The boxset showcases sweater embossed graphics along with a blue thread that’s pullable (& retractable), 4 lithographs, a poster for the garage, song-themed sticker sheet, 12-sided dice and an enamel Bokkus pin.
