Thirty years ago indie rock darlings Weezer released their iconic self-titled debut album that is also known as ‘The Blue Album.’ To celebrate the occasion, the band have organized a special tour, as well as a deluxe box set reissue of the album.
It is a humongous 50-track affair that will be released on November 1, 2024 and it will contain numerous previously unreleased tracks, including demos, live recordings, and more.
The Weezer (Blue Album) box set will be released digitally, as a deluxe three-disc set, and as a super-deluxe box set that includes four vinyl LPs, a 10″ record, and a 7″ record. In addition, the super-deluxe collection has liner notes from Karl Koch, who also assembled the artwork layout with previously unreleased photos. There are also four lithographs, a poster, a song-themed sticker sheet, a 12-sided die (naturally), and an enamel Bokkus pin. The 3xCD version has the lithographs, the poster, the stickers, the 12-sided die, the enamel pin, and Weezine issue #18 as well.
In the spirit of “Undone (The Sweater Song),” all copies of the box set come with “sweater” embossed graphics featuring a pullable and retractable thread, but 100 copies of an Ultra Limited Edition version will be wrapped in an actual knit sweater with a certificate signed by the band members. “Pull this thread as I walk away” at your own risk.
Along with the announcement of the box set, Weezer have shared the earliest known recording of “Undone (The Sweater Song)” culled from their third ever band practice.
