Weezer's debut "blue" album deluxe reissue slated for November

Weezer will mark three decades of their seminal full-length debut LP, Weezer a.k.a. the Blue Album, with the release of the Blue Album 30th Anniversary Edition on November 1, via Geffen/UMe. 

It will be available in multiple configurations, including a Super Deluxe Edition 4LP + 10-inch + 7-inch box set as well as a Deluxe 3CD set, and digitally. Pre-order HERE. Weezer shared the earliest known recording of “Undone – The Sweater Song (Third Practice)"; Listen HERE.

The Super Deluxe Edition box set includes the original album newly remastered from the original analog tapes. Across four 12-inch 180-gram LPs, a 10-inch EP, and 7-inch, it consists of 50 songs in total—with thirty-six previously unreleased tracks (encompassing 8 “Kitchen Tape Demos”), twenty-two early practices and live recordings, six BBC radio recordings – two of which have never been heard before – and four tracks from their LMU sessions. Longtime friend, collaborator, and de facto band historian Karl Koch penned new liner notes in issue #18 of the Weezine and assembled the artwork layout with previously unreleased photos.

Plus, the box set boasts “sweater” embossed graphics complete with a pullable and retractable thread (as a nod to “Undone – The Sweater Song”), four lithographs, a poster perfect for the garage, song-themed sticker sheet, a twelve-sided die, and an enamel Bokkus pin. Meanwhile, the Deluxe 3CD Set also houses four lithographs, the poster, song-themed sticker sheet, twelve-sided die, enamel Bokkus pin, and 28-page issue #18 of the Weezine.

There is also an Ultra Limited Edition box set, with all of the features of the Super Deluxe Edition, but that comes wrapped in an actual knit sweater and a certificate signed by each of the band members. Only 100 of these exist and will be available for purchase on Weezer’s webstore.

The Blue Album will also be available in a variety of vinyl offerings including: ● 2LP 45 rpm half-speed mastering vinyl - 180-gram black vinyl, housed in a premium gatefold jacket wrapped in silver foil paper with bonus photos and an exclusive poster on silver foil paper.
