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 total tracks with 36 previously unreleased, including 8 Kitchen Tape Demos, 22 early practices & live recordings, 6 BBC radio recordings (2 never broadcasted) and 4 tracks from their LMU sessions. Karl Koch updates the history on the album with new liner notes in issue #18 of the weezine, along with laying out all of the artwork throughout the boxset 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.
