Weezer Weezer 1192 - RSD 2026

Weezer’s original bassist and founding member, Matt Sharp, recently stumbled upon a long-lost analog tape reel of the band’s very first studio sessions. These were the recordings that were responsible for earning the band a record contract for their debut “Blue” album and features raw, untamed versions of their timeless hit songs, like Say It Ain’t So and Undone (The Sweater Song), that made the album an instant classic. Sharp and legendary music producer Joe Chiccarrelli took these recordings to Los Angeles’ famed East/West Studios, where the Beach Boys created Pet Sounds and Sinatra recorded My Way, to take a deeper look into this mysterious reel of 1-inch Ampex tape. What the two men quickly discovered was the original lineup of the group in an explosively joyful and feral form.
