Founding bassist Matt Sharp discovered the record while looking through a series of \u201clost-album\u201d master tapes.<\/p>\n<p>The album is set to feature early demos of Weezer classics like \u2018Say It Ain\u2019t So\u2019 and \u2018Undone (The Sweater Song)\u2019 \u2013 demos which would land them a record deal with Geffen in 1993.<\/p>\n<p>With the help of Sharp as producer and Joe Chicarrelli on mixing, the record has been remixed from tape to vinyl in a fully analogue process. Three thousand copies will be made available to purchase on April 18.

I figured there was a chance I was wrong, but to me, it was my favourite album of all time and I assumed other people would feel the same way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Weezer are celebrating their 34th anniversary by re-releasing all their coloured albums on vinyl.
