NewsWeezer / ‘Blue Album’ 30th anniversary box sets
CD and vinyl boxes
Weezer’s self-titled debut, commonly referred to as the Blue Album will be reissued in two extensive box sets in November.
Released in 1994 and produced by Ric Oscasek of The Cars, the album features the UK top 20 hit ‘Buddy Holly’, along with the UK top 40 singles ‘Undone – The Sweater Song’ and ‘Say It Ain’t So’.
A 3CD deluxe set offers a remastered version of the album and 36 previously unreleased tracks including eight ‘Kitchen Tape’ demos and 22 ‘early practices’ and live recordings. Six BBC radion sessions are also included.
The box has lots of non-music ‘stuff’ in it – and is therefore expensive. It comes with a ‘weezine’ (with sleeve notes) lithographs, poster, sticker sheet, a “12-sided dice” and an enamel Bokkus pin.
The vinyl set is even more expensive. The content is spread across four vinyl LPs, a 10-inch EP and a seven-inch single. Very similar content to the CD box (lithographs, poster, etc.) but this version boasts “sweater embossed graphics along with a blue thread that’s pullable (& retractable)”. An even more expensive version ($400) of this vinyl box with an actual ‘sweater sleeve’ was available on the US Weezer shop but has sold out (100 units only!).
These 30th anniversary Blue Album box sets will be released on 1 November 2024, via UMR/Polydor.
